Due to asynchronous packet transmissions and rate mismatch among different coding flows in existing opportunistic network coding architectures, such as COPE, the amount of packets which can be coded together may be insufficient and thus the performance gain of network coding cannot be fully exploited. One feasible solution for this problem is to make coding nodepurposely delay some packet transmissions...
We consider delay tolerant mobile social networks (DTMSNs), which are opportunistic networks made of human-carried wireless devices clustered into social communities. In such environments, routing is a challenge as the limited resources (such as memory and contact opportunities) must be efficiently used and shared between the sessions (or users, contents). To handle several unicast sessions, inter-session...
Network coding (NC) enables us to mix two or more packets into a single coded packet at relay nodes and improve performances in wireless networks. Intra-session sliding window network coding is used at the source nodes and inter-session network coding is employed at the relay node to combine the recovered source packets of source nodes. In this paper, we investigate the performance of the network-coded...
Previously, the distributed coding aware routing (DCAR) mechanism was proposed as a network coding aware routing protocol. However, DCAR is inefficient in handling realtime multimedia flows because it prefers nodes with longer queues in determining routes so that network coding opportunities can be increased. We propose a distributed coding-aware routing protocol that can maximize throughput and minimize...
Concurrent Multipath Transfer (CMT), enabled by Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP), is considered as one preferred data-transport mode due to increased available bandwidth. However, CMT performance degrades seriously in terms of data reordering due to path dissimilarity and frequent packet loss from wireless unreliability. Most relevant solutions follow the packet sequence numbers and thereby...
Recently network coding has been proven as a very promising technique to improve wireless network throughput. In multi-rate wireless networks, simply seeking more coding opportunities or coding more packets into one frame without exploiting multi-rate feature may lead to selecting low-rate links for transmission, and thus compromise the performance gain brought by network coding. In this paper, we...
Network Coding (NC) techniques have received a lot of attention from the research community for providing reliable broadcasting in error-prone wireless networks. The most common NC approach is segment coding, in which the packets are partitioned into segments, and linear NC is performed inside each segment. In order to increase the throughput of NC and decrease the decoding delay, dynamic coding schemes...
Network Coding is a method that effectively combines several packets from different sources and broadcasts the combined packet to several destinations in single transmission time slot. Each destination is capable to extract the intended information by decoding from a common packet. In short, network coding is a method that improves the throughput for wireless networks and wired networks. However,...
This paper investigates the benefit of network coding for TCP traffic in a wireless mesh network. We implement network coding in a real 802.11a wireless mesh network and measure TCP throughput in such a network. Unlike previous implementations of network coding in mesh networks, we use off-the-shelf hardware and software and do not modify TCP or the underlying MAC protocol. Therefore, our implementation...
