description Physical-layer network coding holds the great potential of improving the power efficiency and the spectral efficiency for the two-stage transmission scheme. The first stage is the multiple access stage, where two source nodes (SN<sub>1</sub> and SN<sub>2</sub>) simultaneously transmit to the relay node (RN). The second stage is the Broadcast stage, where the RN broadcasts to the two destination nodes (DN<sub>1</sub> and DN<sub>2</sub>), after a denoising-and-mapping operation. In this paper, we investigate the joint network-coded modulation design of the two stages. A universal modulation framework is built, referred to as analog network-coded modulation strategy, which is more general than the former modulation design mechanism. More explicitly, we propose a joint design criterion to guarantee the forwarding reliability at the RN. The criterion ensures that the neighboring constellation points superposed at the RN are mapped to an identical constellation point for broadcasting if their Euclidean distance (ED) is less than a given threshold. This yields a non-convex polynomial optimization problem by minimizing the average transmission power and constraining the ED among the constellation points. By solving the problem, we propose two joint modulation design algorithms, termed as the Enhanced Semidefinite Relaxation Algorithm and the Fast-Relaxation Algorithm, respectively. The two algorithms can achieve the tradeoff between the communication performance and the computation resources. As for the Fast-Relaxation Algorithm, the theoretical performance boundary is derived in detail. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of both the proposed algorithms by comparing symbol error rate performance with the existing modulation design methods.
