■Title
　Estimating Source Correlation Online in Massive Multiway Multirelay Networks

■Abstruct
　In this paper, we propose an online estimation of source correlation for massive multiway multirelay (MWMR) networks, where each destination does not need to know the source correlation prior to joint decoding. We compare the performances of joint decoding with known source correlation and the estimated version. The results show that the online estimatioin is simple and accurate enough for massive number of sources or users.
