In delay-tolerant networks where connectivity between nodes is intermittent, replication-based delivery mechanisms are often employed to deliver messages in a store-carry-forward manner instead of end-to-end delivery techniques that are mainly used in traditional computer networks and mobile ad-hoc networks. However, multicasting with replication-based methodologies can induce considerable message...
We propose a new scheme for reliable transport, both for unicast and multicast flows, in Delay Tolerant Networks (DTNs). Reliability is ensured through the use of Global Selective ACKnowledgements (G-SACKs) which contain detailed (and potentially global) information about the receipt of packets at all the destinations. The motivation for using G-SACKs comes from the observation that one should take...
Coding has traditionally been used at the physical layer in communication networks to prevent and correct errors and erasures incurred in transmission of data. In the past decade, other benefits of coding have been demonstrated, in particular in environments with unpredictable dynamics and limited resources. In this paper, we are concerned with using coding to reduce delay in communications environments...
This paper characterizes the throughput-delay tradeoffs in mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) with network coding, and compares results in the situation where only replication and forwarding are allowed in each node. The schemes/protocols achieving those tradeoffs in an effective and decentralized way are proposed and the optimality of those tradeoffs is established. The scenarios in which network coding...
This paper investigates the problem of how much benefit network coding can contribute to the network performance in terms of throughput, delay, and storage requirements for mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs), compared to when only replication, storage and forwarding are allowed in relay nodes. We characterize the throughput-delay-storage tradeoffs under different node mobility patterns, i.e., i.i.d....
We consider data-streaming from an access point to multiple receivers, which is modeled as packet erasure channel. A simple network coding is shown to achieve larger rate region than without network coding, using minimal control information. The performance is characterized exactly using state transition graph. The scheme is then mapped to an information theoretic formulation for broadcast channel...
