Implementing Network Coding Aware Cooperative MAC Protocol for Multichannel Wireless Ad Hoc Network

In Cooperative communication, transmission powers of multiple users are combined which helps to improve network performance. The main problem in cooperative communication is to select optimal relay node. In network coding, multiple packets are encoded at a relay node. It will utilize bandwidth more efficiently allocated to each node. It can reduce transmission time and improve energy gain. The combination of network coding and cooperative communication will increase throughput and performance of network. We will design this protocol for multichannel system. We will use FDMA technique for selecting channel. Using this technique, multiple channels can be selected for data transmission.
