Poster Abstract: Network Coding with Limited Overhearing
نویسندگان
چکیده
The two key benefits of network coding are increased reliability and throughput. Most network coding approaches for wireless networks rely on overhearing neighboring transmissions. Overhearing in sensor networks, however, is not energy-efficient. In this paper, we extend GinMAC, a state-ofthe-art MAC protocol, applying network coding with limited overhearing. Our approach reduces the delay allocating less retransmission slots. Our results show that network coding with limited overhearing reduces the power consumption of GinMAC while maintaining the desired level of reliability.

Virtual overhearing: An effective way to increase network coding opportunities in wireless ad-hoc networks
Overhearing is of great importance to wireless network coding in that it can be exploited to obtain the side information needed for packet decoding. Recently, a new technique called virtual overhearing (VOH) was proposed to allow a node to obtain the packet sent by another node that is multiple hops away for free. This can overcome the limitation of overhearing and be used to discover more codi...
متن کاملEfficient power savings in wireless sensor networks with network coding and overhearing avoidance
Wireless sensor networks and embedded systems are becoming commonplace in many fields of research. However, sensor nodes are generally powered by batteries which provide a limited amount of power, and it is often difficult to recharge or replace the batteries. Therefore, power aware and power efficient protocols at each layer of the communications are very important for wireless sensor networks...
متن کاملWireless Network Coding with Imperfect Overhearing
Not only is network coding essential to achieve the capacity of a single-session multicast network, it can also help to improve the throughput of wireless networks with multiple unicast sessions when overheard information is available. Most previous research aimed at realizing such improvement by using perfectly overheard information, while in practice, especially for wireless networks, overhea...
متن کاملWireless Network Coding with Local Network Views: Coded Layer Scheduling
One of the fundamental challenges in the design of distributed wireless networks is the large dynamic range of network state. Since continuous tracking of global network state at all nodes is practically impossible, nodes can only acquire limited local views of the whole network to design their transmission strategies. In this paper, we study multilayer wireless networks and assume that each no...
متن کاملPerformance evaluation of network coding in IEEE 802.11 wireless ad hoc networks
We evaluate the practical network coding (NC) gain in a wireless ad hoc networks. First, we introduce how network coding can be applied to IEEE 802.11 ad hoc networks. Next, we find obstructive factors by which the NC gain may decrease as compared with the theoretical NC gain. Finally, through the performance evaluation, we analyze why a performance difference occurs between practical and theor...
