Abstract:

The network coding paradigm advocates that intermediate nodes should not only forward, but also process and combine packets, which has the potential to increase throughput and facilitate distributed operation of networks. Our work focuses on wireless networks, where network coding can be gracefully combined with and exploit the properties of the wireless networks. The goal is to design and evaluate algorithms and protocols, on top of given constructive network coding schemes, so as to improve the performance of unicast flows by fully exploiting the network coding capabilities. The contributions of our work are the joint optimization of rate control and error correction, together with the underlying network coding mechanisms.
