Network coding fundamentals.(Brief article)
Apr 01, 2007; ... Abstract Network coding is an elegant and novel technique introduced at the turn of the millennium to improve network throughput and performance. It is expected to be a critical technology for networks of the future. This tutorial addresses the first most natural questions one ...
1 Introduction.(Network Coding Fundamentals)(www.networkcoding.info)
Apr 01, 2007; ... Networked systems arise in various communication contexts such as phone networks, the public Internet, peer-to-peer networks, ad-hoc wireless networks, and sensor networks. Such systems are becoming central to our way of life. During the past half a century, there has been a significant ...
2 The main theorem of network multicast.(Network Coding Fundamentals)
Apr 01, 2007; ... Network multicast refers to simultaneously transmitting the same information to multiple receivers in the network. We are concerned with sufficient and necessary conditions that the network has to satisfy to be able to support the multicast at a certain rate. For the case of unicast (when ...
3 Theoretical frameworks for network coding.(Network Coding Fundamentals)
Apr 01, 2007; ... Network coding can and has been studied within a number of different theoretical frameworks, in several research communities. The choice of framework a researcher makes most frequently depends on his background and preferences. However, one may also argue that each network coding issue ...
4 Throughput benefits of network coding.(Network Coding Fundamentals)
Apr 01, 2007; ... The multicast examples considered in the previous chapters demonstrated that network coding can offer throughput benefits when compared to routing; we will here look into how large such benefits can be. We consider both directed and undirected networks, under two types of routing: integral ...
