Not only is network coding essential to achieve the capacity of a single-session multicast network, it can also help to improve the throughput of wireless networks with multiple unicast sessions when overheard information is available. Most previous research aimed at realizing such improvement by using perfectly overheard information, while in practice, especially for wireless networks, overheard information is often imperfect. To date, it is unclear whether network coding should still be used in such situations with imperfect overhearing. In this paper, a simple but ubiquitous wireless network model with two unicast sessions is used to investigate this problem. From the diversity and multiplexing tradeoff perspective, it is proved that even when overheard information is imperfect, network coding can still help to improve the overall system performance. This result implies that network coding should be used actively regardless of the reception quality of overheard information.
