摘　　要：In this paper, we have compared the performance of joint network channel coding （JNCC） for multicast relay network using low density parity check （LDPC） codes and Convolutional codes as channel codes while exclusive or （XOR） network coding used at the intermediate relay nodes. Multicast relay transmission is a type of transmission scheme in which two fixed relay nodes contribute in the second hop of end-to-end transmission between base transceiver station （BTS） and a pair of mobile stations. We have considered one way and two way multicast scenarios to evaluate the bit error rate （BER） and throughput performance. It has been shown that when using XOR network coding at the intermediate relay nodes, the same transmission becomes possible in less time slots hence throughput performance can be improved. Moreover we have also discussed two possible scenarios in the proposed system model, in which both diversity and multiplexing gain has been considered. It is worth notifying that BER and throughput achieved for LDPC codes is better than Convolutional codes for all the schemes discussed.In this paper, we have compared the performance of joint network channel coding （JNCC） for multicast relay network using low density parity check （LDPC） codes and Convolutional codes as channel codes while exclusive or （XOR） network coding used at the intermediate relay nodes.
