英文摘要：

Physical-layer network coding（ PNC） ＇s application in wireless relay networks is investigated.The performance gain in network throughput brought by PNC is analyzed and validated.Various researchers＇ works have led to many new results in the domains of wireless communication,information theory,and wireless networking.Several related key issues are discussed in detail including the PNC＇s performance under practical channel conditions and possible solutions,the decoding ambiguity at the relay node when high-order modulation is applied,the compute-and-forward scheme based on nested lattice codes and possible solution combined with buffer-aided relaying.The possible solutions of the above issues will bring PNC into more realistic and practical scenarios,while high reliability and efficiency of the communication is maintained.
