Abstract

The paper addresses wireless the 2-Way Relay Channel (2-WRC) system with a Hierarchical Decode and Forward strategy. This strategy uses a Hierarchical eXclusive Code (HXC) that allows full decoding of the hierarchical symbols at the relay. The HXC represents two data sources only through the exclusive law and requires side information on the complementary data at the destination (which naturally holds for the 2-WRC). The HDF strategy has the advantage over classical MAC stage relaying with joint decoding that its rate region extends beyond the classical MAC region. We evaluate the hierarchical MAC capacity regions for various alphabets, constellation point indexing and various channel parametrization and compare that to the alphabet limited and unconstrained cut-set bounds.
