| Abstract | Network coding is a network layer technique to improve transmission efficiency. Coding packets is especially beneficial in a wireless environment where the demand for radio spectrum is high. However, to fully realize the benefits of network coding two challenging issues that must be addressed are: (1) Guaranteeing separation of coded packets at the destination, and (2) Mitigating the extra coding/decoding delay. If the destination has all the needed packets to decode a coded packet, then separation failure can be averted. If the scheduling algorithm considers the arrival time of coding pairs, then the extra delay can be mitigated. In this paper, we develop a network coding method to address these two issues, i.e., decodability and delay, for multi-source multi-destination unicast and multicast sessions. We use linear programming to find the most efficient coding design solution with guaranteed decodability. To reduce network relay, we develop a scheduling algorithm to minimize the extra coding/decoding delay and store-and-forward delay. Our coding design method and scheduling algorithm are validated through experiments. Simulation results show improved transmission efficiency and reduced network delay. |
