In this paper, we consider the use of cross-layer network coding and fog radio access networks (F-RANs) as a means to jointly optimize user's quality-of-service and offload the cloud servers and cellular macro base-stations. Multiple edge nodes called enhanced remote radio heads (eRRHs) are connected to a central unit known as cloud base station (CBS). The transmit frame of each eRRH consists of multiple resources blocks called power zones (PZs), each fixed at a pre-assigned power level. The various ergodic capacities of different users at different PZs/eRRHs and the CBS bring a new trade-off between the number of multiplexed users and the transmission rates of each PZ and each CBS allocated channel. The proposed framework incorporates such information in the network coding decisions. As such, the multiplexed users, encoded files, and transmission rates of each PZ/eRRH and each CBS allocated channel maximizes the throughput which is defined as the number of correctly received bits and actual CBS physical-resource offloading, respectively. The problem is first formulated using graph theory techniques, and its intractability is shown. Given the difficulty of the problem, the paper proposes a heuristic approach by dividing it into two sequential subproblems and solving each subproblem efficiently. Presented simulation results reveal that the proposed solution achieves small offloading performance degradation compared to the cross-layer QoS unaware scheme but largely maximizes the received throughput compared to the state-of-art algorithms.

In this paper, we investigate the optimal scheduling schemes for multi-hop video streaming with generation-based random linear network coding in vehicular networks. With the proposed scheduling algorithm, each vehicle in the network is guaranteed to decode the video block from the dedicated transmissions and the overheard packets with high probability. We derive explicit expression for the number of network coded packets that need to be generated at each vehicle in order to ensure successful decoding at its downstream vehicles, by considering the overheard packets due to wireless broadcasting. Furthermore, the distance beyond which the channel can be reused is optimized to maximize the achievable video generating rate at the source node. Simulation results show that the proposed coding and scheduling scheme achieves higher end-to-end throughput than the conventional packet erasure correction coding scheme that is only optimized for one-hop communications.

Cloud-of-clouds storage is a viable means to ensure security and reliability of distributed data storage, where data are encrypted, encoded, and stored in multiple clouds. However, it is a great challenge to adopt such a paradigm in mobile devices (e.g., smartphone). Mobile devices are generally incapable to perform the heavy-weight operations (i.e., data encryption, encoding, and transmission) required in such a paradigm, given the limited resources in such devices. This paper focuses on addressing this challenge, i.e., improving data storage performance in mobile cloud-of-clouds storage systems. The key of our proposal is to allow the low-capability mobile devices to offload the computational and transmission overhead to the clouds. In other words, we propose a network coding based Cloud-of-clouds Storage (NCCS) scheme, where the clouds can encode and exchange data collaboratively. We consider two state-of-the-art cloud-of-clouds storage approaches, i.e., AONT-RS and CAONT-RS, as example cases to deploy our scheme. Accordingly, we propose their network coding-based enhancements, namely NAONT-RS and NCAONT-RS. We implement a prototype cloud-of-clouds system to verify the efficiency of our proposal. We deploy the prototype on Microsoft Azure and conduct extensive experiments with real-world traces. The experimental results show that NAONT-RS and NCAONT-RS can reduce the time of data storage process by up to 50% and improve the throughput by up to 110% compared with their original versions, i.e., AONT-RS and CAONT-RS.

In mobile ad-hoc networks (MANETs) composed of mobile devices, network resources such as battery capacity and bandwidth are limited. Therefore, in such networks, it is particularly important to reduce unnecessary packet transfers and the use of network resources and power to ensure efficient multicast communications. In this study, we apply network coding to conventional flooding in order to achieve efficient and reliable multicasting in MANETs. network coding makes it possible to reduce the number of packets transmitted over the network and to use devices and network resources effectively. The packet-reduction bene fits obtained using network coding depend greatly on the network topology. Therefore, we propose a novel method called adaptive forwarding control, which uses network coding and flooding for efficient multicasting. Our proposed scheme switches between conventional flooding and network coding, depending on the topology, to derive the bene fits from both flooding and network coding.

Dual connectivity (DC) has attracted a lot of attention with the higher demand for reliable data transmission in 5G. We consider the application of network coding technology on DC scenario. Aiming at a special topology of DC, a new physical layer downlink network coding scheme (PHY-DL-NC) is proposed. In the proposed scheme, network coding technology is adopted in the physical layer of the base station (BS) through designing a new user data modulation mode and a corresponding mapping demodulation scheme. Compared with the traditional scheme, the proposed scheme guarantees the bit error rate (BER) performance when there exists the same frequency band signals interference. Simulation results show that the PHY-DL-NC scheme has a significantly lower BER when the co-frequency signal interference is large. Besides, it can significantly reduce backhaul load in the absence of signal interference, while achieving a similar performance to the ideal traditional transmission scheme in terms of BER.

Mobile edge computing (MEC) and fog computing are considered to be a promising technique for the fifth generation (5G) networks. The main features of them are to push computing tasks to network edges. Meanwhile, to achieve low latency and high access speed, it is necessary to adopt an advanced transmission mechanism at network edges. Considering the advantages of large rate and high reliability provided by non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) and network coding, in this paper we propose a hybrid round-trip transmission mechanism at network edges. Specifically, we consider a fog node as a relay; and utilize a hybrid concept to design a NOMA-NC method which combines uplink NOMA and downlink network coding. Theoretical derivation and numerical results demonstrate that the proposed method distinctly outperforms both (i) traditional orthogonal multiple access (OMA) method combining OMA and network coding (namely OMA-NC); and (ii) NOMA-based round-trip transmission method (namely NOMA-NOMA).
Linear network coding [1] requires arithmetic operations over Galois fields, more specifically over finite extension fields. While coding over GF(2) reduces to simple XOR operations, this field is less preferred for p...

Survivability is the critical issue in the wirelessoptical broadband access network (WOBAN) since that any failure of network components would resulted in a large amount of traffic interrupted. The previous mechanisms suffer from two key issues. First, they must reroute the interrupted traffic to the backup resources which caused a long recovery time. Second, the deployment of backup fiber could increase the recovery cost. To address these problems, a novel fault tolerance parallel routing mechanism with network coding (FTPR-NC) is proposed in this paper to enhance the survivability. In FTPR-NC mechanism, the original packets are coded to the optimal number of encoded packets which results in the minimum cost of recovery. Then the encoded packet is transferred to the destination node in accordance with the packet allocation scheme which results in the minimum number of encoded packet when recover the original packets by parallel routings. Numerical results show that the proposed FTPR-NC mechanism outperforms the previous mechanism significantly on the performance of average delay. Meanwhile, the FTPR-NC mechanism dramatically decrease the recovery time when a failure occurs.

The business control center of the power grid adjusts grid load and power supply with a large amount of user power data. However, the malicious attacker illegally monitors and steals the user's power information transmitted by the netw ork, which poses a great threat to the privacy of the user. Aiming at the above problems, this paper proposes an anonymous security transmission mechanism of power information based on network coding and homomorphic encryption technology. Firstly, the data collector divides and encodes the meter information, and encrypts the coding coefficients with the homomorphic encry ption function, which ensures the security of transmission information. the forw arding network adopts multipath coding transmission and homomorphic encryption technology, which improves the anonymity, security and ability of anti-collusion attacks of meter information transmission. The analysis results show that only the control center at the receiving end can recover the original communication information by decoding the encoded information, and the transmission mechanism has strong anonymity and security, and has loss computational complexity.

Combining the cooperative communications and network coding allows the relay to assistance other nodes while serving its own data concurrently. In this paper, we propose a novel Two Master Nodes - Cooperative network coding (TMN-CNC) protocol under the log-normal shadowing channel model, for the wireless body area network (WBAN). The design objective of the TMN-CNC is to increase transmission probability. The numerical results show that the TMN-CNC can enhance network performance compared to direct transmission.
