Capacity analysis of two-user opportunistic scheduling for wireless network coding

This paper provides an analytical formulation of average capacity and outage capacity for two-user opportunistic scheduling for wireless network coding (OWNC). It is shown that our derived capacity formulas can be easily evaluated without numerical integration and match exactly with the simulation results. At high SNR, it is shown that the average capacity of OWNC is double of logarithm (base 2) of average SNR subtracted by a loss term composed of the ‘scheduling loss’ and ‘concavity loss’ factors.
