On Network Coding Capacity - Matroidal Networks and Network Capacity Regions
نویسنده
چکیده
One fundamental problem in the field of network coding is to determine the network coding capacity of networks under various network coding schemes. In this thesis, we address the problem with two approaches: matroidal networks and capacity regions. In our matroidal approach, we prove the converse of the theorem which states that, if a network is scalar-linearly solvable then it is a matroidal network associated with a representable matroid over a finite field. As a consequence, we obtain a correspondence between scalar-linearly solvable networks and representable matroids over finite fields in the framework of matroidal networks. We prove a theorem about the scalar-linear solvability of networks and field characteristics. We provide a method for generating scalar-linearly solvable networks that are potentially different from the networks that we already know are scalar-linearly solvable. In our capacity region approach, we define a multi-dimensional object, called the network capacity region, associated with networks that is analogous to the rate regions in information theory. For the network routing capacity region, we show that the region is a computable rational polytope and provide exact algorithms and approximation heuristics for computing the region. For the network linear coding capacity region, we construct a computable rational polytope, with respect to a given finite field, that inner bounds the linear coding capacity region and provide exact algorithms and approximation heuristics for computing the polytope. The exact algorithms and approximation heuristics we present are not polynomial time schemes and may depend on the output size.

An Upper Bound on the Coding Capacity of Matroidal Network Associated with R8
In this paper, according to Dougherty et al.’s method, we construct a matroidal network associated with vector matroid 8 R . Then we use Ingleton inequality and Zhang-Yeung non-Shannon-type information inequality respectively to compute upper bounds on coding capacity of the constructed matroidal network. Finally, We prove that the coding capacity of the matroidal network associated with 8 R is...
متن کاملظرفیت شبکه های حذفی تحت کدینگ فضایی شبکه
We study the capacity of point-to-point erasure networks under a restricted form of network coding to which we refer as spatial network coding. In this form of coding, the nodes can not perform coding on successive packets which are received from one incoming link. The coding at a node is restricted to the packets received at the same time slot from different incoming links...
متن کاملOptimal Coding Subgraph Selection under Survivability Constraint
Nowadays communication networks have become an essential and inevitable part of human life. Hence, there is an ever-increasing need for expanding bandwidth, decreasing delay and data transfer costs. These needs necessitate the efficient use of network facilities. Network coding is a new paradigm that allows the intermediate nodes in a network to create new packets by combining the packets recei...

In this paper, load-carrying capacity in steel shear wall (SSW) was estimated using artificial neural networks (ANNs). The SSW parameters including load-carrying capacity (as ANN’s target), plate thickness, thickness of stiffener, diagonal stiffener distance, horizontal stiffener distance and gravity load (as ANN’s inputs) are used in this paper to train the ANNs. 144 samples data of each of th...
