    This book provides a consolidated view of the various network coding techniques to be implemented at the design of the wireless networks for improving its overall performance. It covers multiple sources communicating with multiple destinations via a common relay followed by network coded modulation schemes for multiple access relay channels. Performance of the distributed systems based on distributed convolutional codes with network coded modulation is covered including a two-way relay channel (TWRC). Two MIF protocols are proposed including derivation of signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and development of threshold of the channel conditions of both.

    Features:

    • Systematically investigates coding and modulation for wireless relay networks.
    • Discusses how to apply lattice codes in implementing lossless communications and lossy source coding over a network.
    • Focusses on theoretical approach for performance optimization.
    • Includes various network coding strategies for different networks.
    • Reviews relevant existing and ongoing research in optimization along with practical code design.

    This book aims at Researchers, Professionals and Graduate students in Networking, Communications, Information, Coding Theory, Theoretical Computer Science, Performance Analysis and Resource Optimization, Applied Discrete Mathematics, and Applied Probability.
