Abstract

We study the energy benefit of applying compute-and-forward on a wireless hexagonal lattice network with multiple unicast sessions with a specific session placement. Two compute-and-forward based transmission schemes are proposed, which allow the relays to exploit both the broadcast and superposition nature of the wireless network. The energy consumption of both transmission and reception of the nodes are taken into account. We show that with our schemes, the total energy consumption of the network is significantly reduced compared to traditional routing based transmission schemes. Moreover, our schemes also outperform the plain network coding based transmission scheme in terms of power saving as long as the receive energy of the devices is not negligible.
