In this paper we discuss the conditions of network coding technique applicability to 6LoWPAN/IEEE802.15.4-based sensor networks. The paper shows that the network coding technique based on the COPE solution can be used in sensor network however not without constraints. The main problem concerns a limited memory of the sensor nodes, header compression used in 6LoWPAN standard and limitations in 6LoWPAN implementations.

Recent advances in network coding have shown great potential for efficient information transfer. In this paper, exploiting inter-layer and inter-session network coding, we address the distributed control problem in heterogeneous-service networks (HSNs) with booming multi-rate multicast (MRM) and unicast (UC) services. Different from the literatures on inter-layer/inter-session schemes, heterogeneity and fairness among MRM users and between different services are jointly considered. With the Lagrangian and subgradient method, a decentralized rate control algorithm is developed with little coordination among intermediate nodes, in which only local information is needed to achieve rate, congestion, and fairness balance control. Numerical examples are provided to verify the effectiveness and convergence of the proposed algorithm. Furthermore, we demonstrate the performance improvement and implementation advantages of the proposed algorithm compared with the previous solutions considering layered coding for an MRM service or inter-session coding limited for UC services.

In this paper, we propose a novel fading correction and relaying scheme for physical layer network coding (PLNC) in the two-way relay (TWR) fading channel. The fading correction on the soft-bit level at nodes can eliminate the effect of fading on the TWR channel. In order to broadcast the soft-bit in an optimal way, we design a quantize-and-forward scheme which is robust for the TWR fading channel. In addition, an optimized mapping is used to implement unequal error protection (UEP) for bits with different significance in the quantization index. The soft-bit correction and the robust quantize-and-forward scheme are fully compatible with one another. Both low complexity and good performance can be provided.

We argue that the main benefits of network coding in a wireless environment might manifest in situations where the topology dynamically changes, and operation is restricted to distributed algorithms that do not employ knowledge about the network environment. We consider several problem instances in this set-up, that include broadcasting information to all nodes of the network and collecting sensor measurements. We show that in many such cases, under some simplifying assumptions, the problem is theoretically equivalent to simple variations of the coupon collector problem. Thus network coding can offer benefits of a factor of log n, where n is the number of nodes and the benefits are in terms of energy efficiency, as was proven in [3]. We present simulation results under more realistic conditions that support this claim.

In dense wireless local area networks (WLANs), the hidden stations (HSs) cause severe collisions and performance degradation. Although cooperative communications can achieve spatial diversity, how to efficiently cooperate in a wireless network is a challenging issue due to the distributed nature of the stations. The contributions of this paper are two-fold. First, we establish an analytical model for the IEEE 802.11 WLANs with HSs using the mean value analysis method, which can provide the theoretical results of collision probability, frame service time and network throughput. Second, we propose a new medium access control (MAC) protocol, named network coding cooperative MAC (NCC-MAC) to utilize cooperation to relieve the HS problem. Different from the traditional RTS/CTS scheme, NCC-MAC utilizes random linear coding (RLC) to realize opportunistic cooperative transmission without extra control messages. Furthermore, the ACK-triggering mechanism is introduced which can help to avoid repeated collision caused by HS(s) in dense WLANs and also improve the efficiency of the coded cooperation. Simulations have been conducted to compare the performance of NCC-MAC with DCF, simple cooperative MAC (SC-MAC) without network coding, and other cooperative MAC in the literature. The results show that NCC-MAC can effectively realize station cooperation and reduce the effect of HS(s), improving the network throughput and delay performance considerably.

We consider multiple source asynchronous broad-casting problem. That is, in each broadcast, one of the nodes is the source, and the message is to be received, unaltered, by all the other nodes in the network. We propose to exploit LT code, which is one of the fountain codes, with the source independent backbone in order to reduce the number of transmissions for broadcasting with network coding in ad hoc wireless network. We use the principle of LT code to perform network coding in a simple distributed manner where encoding can be applied with both received singletons and non-singletons, and generated candidates can be used in an optimization criteria. We show by simulation that our approach reduces the number of transmissions required for flooding.

The paper proposes a Random network coding based solution for data dissemination applications involving multiple unicast or multicast transmissions between a source and several destinations. The solution proposed is based on a mathematical framework derived from the theory of Random network coding employed in multicast transmissions. This framework specifies the conditions allowing to each destination to decode only the flows of interest, when the total rate of the source flows is larger than the capacity of the network. A testbed, shortly described in the paper, was implemented for proof of concept and the performances of the coded transmissions were compared to that of uncoded transmissions. The results show the improvement brought by our solution in what concerns the packet loss rate obtained for different ratios between the source flows rates and the transfer rates of the test topology's bottleneck links.

network coding improves transmission efficiency by combining packets at relay nodes and thus reduces the number of packets sent to the network. It is a network layer solution to improve network throughput and transmission efficiency. However, a coded packet must be decodable by the destination, otherwise it is a waste of resource to combine them together and to deliver the coded packet. This paper addresses how to find the coding solution that guarantees decodability at the destination. We first quantify the coding gain as the number of transmissions reduced, and then provide a method for runtime check whether a coding pair can be separated at the destination. The optimal coding solution is selected as the one that provides the maximum coding gain among all the decodable pairs. The algorithms can be applied to both unicast and multicast traffic. Simulation results show the number of transmissions can be reduced significantly, especially for multicast traffic where there are rich opportunities to apply network coding.

Due to its wide availability narrowband powerline networks provide an interesting no-new-wires communication channel. Nevertheless, as powerline was not designed for data communication, its electrical characteristics make it a harsh environment for data transmission and prevents the deployment of services with high reliability requirements. This paper presents 3 main outcomes: (i) The characterization of the transmission error correlation among different nodes in a narrowband powerline network, which acts in favour of the cooperative schemes. (ii) Based on the conclusions obtained from real measurements campaign, we propose a new OSI-Layer2 scheme based on network coding to achieve reliable communications in narrowband powerline. (iii) We demonstrate the benefits of the proposed scheme validating its real implementation in an embedded system, and comparing the achieved performance improvement with different legacy ARQ schemes.

network coding offers a promising platform for multicast transmission to improve the throughput. However, the users may not collect a full set of the encoded packets to recover the useful information because of its block processing property, leading to the low throughput under wireless fading channel. While the schemes that using feedback from all the receivers to cover the problem above always causes the huge feedback overhead in large network. Accordingly, in this paper we proposed an adaptive sliding window random network coding(ASWRNC) that introduce RNC with lower triangular coefficient matrix and sliding window to achieve higher network throughput and lower feedback overhead. Particularly, we introduce an adaptive encoding scheme that can let the user decode out partial original packets without collecting the full set of encoded packets. On the other hand, the window sliding scheduling helps the user with better channel decode out more original packets. Further, we discuss in detail the feedback-compete mechanism to decline the feedback overhead.
