A Wireless Broadcasting Retransmission Approach Based on Network Coding

Based on the changeability of wireless network circumstance, information packets are prone to lose in the process of the wireless transmission. In wireless broadcasting ,any node of multi-nodes request retransmission information packets .This paper presents a novel retransmission approach in wireless broadcasting based on network coding (NCWBR), whose key idea is to combine different lost packets with network coding to achieve retransmission. Theoretical analysis reveals that our approach can ensure the solvability in the received nodes, and have better retransmission performance. Simulation results indicate that compared with existing approach, the approach in this paper can effectively reduce the average number of transmissions and advance the transmission efficiency.
