• This paper investigates the diversity gain offered by implementing network coding (R. Ahlswede et al., 2000) over wireless communication links. The network coding algorithm is applied to both a wireless network containing a distributed antenna system (DAS) as well as one that supports user cooperation between users. The results show that network-coded DAS leads to better diversity performance as compared to conventional DAS, at a lower hardware cost and higher spectral efficiency. In the case of user cooperation, network coding yields additional diversity, especially when there are multiple users
