  4. Abstract:
  5. In traditional wireless networks, physical layer network coding (PNC) exploits the inverse additivity property of broadcast signals in the medium, an idea which is not directly applicable to molecular networks. In this paper, to make the natural XOR operation possible at the physical layer, we exploit the reaction of different molecule types and we propose a PNC scheme in diffusion-based molecular relay networks. For comparison, we consider the straightforward network coding (SNC) scheme in molecular networks. Assuming the ligand-receptor binding process at the receivers, we investigate the error performance of both schemes. It is observed that in addition to the simplicity of the proposed scheme, it improves the performance compared to the SNC scheme
