The Physical-layer Network Coding (PNC) can be used in the wireless transmission to improve the transmission throughput. In the paper [6], Maeouf, et al gives a detailed analysis and simulation for unidirectional wireless transmission with PNC. In this paper, we propose an adaptive PNC method based on their research. The proposed scheme can further improve the transmission throughput by reducing the total retransmission times. In addition, we also discuss the effect of packet length and simplified decoding parameters.
