Abstract: This paper deals with the joint subcarrier suppression and relay selection (JSSRS) problem in two-way orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) relaying system based on physical layer network coding (PLNC) with the decode-and-forward protocol over a multipath Rayleigh fading channel. Two JSSRS schemes are proposed:JSSRS with a fixed threshold (FT-J) and JSSRS with a fixed number of subcarriers (FNS-J). In a two-way information exchange process, FT-J suppresses subcarriers by keeping the suppression threshold invariant, and FNS-J suppresses subcarriers by keeping the number of suppressed subcarriers invariant. In other words, FNS-J keeps the number of active subcarriers constant and the suppression threshold value varying. Simulation results show that FT-J and FNS-J can improve efficiency and enhance reliability of a two-way OFDM relaying system based on PLNC as compared with traditional subcarrier suppression schemes.
