Fragouli, ChristinaWidmer, JoergLe Boudec, Jean-Yves2006-05-232006-05-232006-05-23200610.1109/INFOCOM.2006.45https://infoscience.epfl.ch/handle/20.500.14299/230231WOS:000259418000007We show that network coding allows to realize energy savings in a wireless ad-hoc network, when each node of the network is a source that wants to transmit information to all other nodes. Energy efficiency directly affects battery life and thus is a critical design parameter for wireless networks. We propose an implementable method for performing network coding in such a setting. We analyze theoretical cases in detail, and use the insights gained to propose a practical, fully distributed method for realistic wireless ad-hoc scenarios. We address practical issues such as setting the forwarding factor, managing generations, and impact of transmission range. We use theoretical analysis and packet level simulation.Network CodingHaggleNCCR-MICSNCCR-MICS/CL2text::conference output::conference proceedings::conference paper
