Title
Practical Localized Network Coding in Wireless Mesh Networks
Abstract
óIn this paper, BFLYña practical localized network coding protocol for wireless mesh networksñis proposed. To supplement forwarding packets in classical networks, interme- diate wireless nodes code packets from different sources, so that each transmission's information content is increased. Prior work allowed intermediate nodes to code (i.e, XOR) packets such that the recipient of that coded message must decode the message before forwarding. BFLY, however, allows intermediate recipients to, in addition to XOR-ing, forward coded packets; and thus further exploits network coding opportunities in multihop wireless networks. BFLY utilizes knowledge of the local topolo- gies and source route information in the packet headers. We have developed network coding modules in ns-2 that facilitate simulation with large networks. Simulation studies show that BFLY can increase overall network throughput by a factor of 1.2 ñ 2 and reduce packet end-to-end latency.
