Network Coding Fundamentals

Network Coding Fundamentals

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 would ask about this new technique: how network coding works and what are its benefits, how network codes are designed and how m...

Fundamentals of Network Coding: A Review

Network coding broadly refers to the processing of data at the intermediate nodes of a network in addition to routing data from source to destination. The theoretical framework for network coding was first provided by Ahlswede et al. in [1]. In this paper, the authors demonstrate the benefits of network coding over mere routing in improving the throughput of a single-source multicast transmissi...

Speech Coding: Fundamentals and Applications

Speech coding is the process of obtaining a compact representation of voice signals for efficient transmission over band-limited wired and wireless channels and/or storage. Today, speech coders have become essential components in telecommunications and in the multimedia infrastructure. Commercial systems that rely on efficient speech coding include cellular communication, voice over internet pr...
