N2 - Relaying is a fundamental building block of wireless networks. Sophisticated relaying strategies at the physical layer have been developed for a single flow, but multiple flows are typically handled by time sharing the channel between the flows at the network level. In this paper, time-sharing when forwarding two data streams at the relay is compared to joint relaying and network coding that allows the relay to combine data streams. Two commonly occurring blocks in wireless networks with both unicast and multicast traffic are considered. It is shown that joint relaying and network coding can achieve gains and even double the throughput for certain channel conditions.
