Sub-rate linear network coding

Increasing network capacity is undoubtedly a critical aspect of modern communication systems. In this paper, the concept sub-rate coding and decoding in framework linear (LNC) introduced for single-source multiple-sinks finite acyclic networks. This methodology offers modification to existing LNC so that source transmits its messages manner which given set sinks (termed sinks), whose max-flow smaller than source’s message-rate, can still decode portion transmitted messages, without degrading maximum achievable rate equal (or greater) rate. The paper sets conditions has satisfy order be applicable.
