Produktbeschreibung

This
book focuses on how to apply network coding at different layers in wireless
networks - including physical layer, media access control (MAC) layer, network
layer, transport layer. It investigates
a physical layer wireless network coding scheme where
the relay nodes applies symbol-by-symbol soft decisions on the received signals
from the two end nodes to come up with the network coded information to be
forwarded.
The author explores how to deploy network coding in MAC to improve network
performance and examine joint network coding with opportunistic routing to
improve the successful rate of routing. In regards to TCP and network coding,
the author considers transport layer protocol working with network coding to
overcome the lossy transmission , particularly with how to transmite
linear combination of original packets in the congestion window and
simultaneously generating redundant combinations to mask random losses from TCP. Multicast
is a hot application area of network coding at application layer in both wired
and wireless networks. The author introduces several multicast schemes at
application layer and discusses the advantages of them. The book pertains to
researchers and postgraduate students, especially whose interests are in deployment
of network coding in wireless networks.
