Communication and computation are often viewed as separate tasks. This approach is very
effective from the perspective of engineering as isolated optimizations can be performed …

The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence technologies has given rise to diversified
intelligent services, which place unprecedented demands on massive connectivity and …

Interference is usually viewed as an obstacle to communication in wireless networks. This
paper proposes a new strategy, compute-and-forward, that exploits interference to obtain …

As a subfield of network coding, PNC can effectively enhance the throughput of wireless
networks by mapping superimposed signals at the receiver to other forms of user messages …

The problem of designing physical-layer network coding (PNC) schemes via nested lattices
is considered. Building on the compute-and-forward (C&F) relaying strategy of Nazer and …

A key issue in physical-layer network coding (PNC) is how to deal with the asynchrony
between signals transmitted by multiple transmitters. That is, symbols transmitted by different …

This paper presents the first implementation of a two-way relay network based on the
principle of physical-layer network coding (PNC). To date, only a simplified version of PNC …

In this survey paper, we review the random access (RA) techniques with particular emphasis
on the issues and the possible solutions applicable to satellite networks. RA dates back to …

Random access represents possibly the simplest and yet one of the best known approaches
for sharing a channel among several users. Since their introduction in the 1970s, random …

Network coding is a technique in which transmitted data is encoded and decoded to
enhance network throughput, reduce delays and construct a more robust network. Network …
