Error Propagation Mitigation for Wireless Network Coding

Cooperative diversity has been proposed as an implementation for networks where terminals are restricted to using physical arrays; this technique implements space diversity by creating virtual antennas arrays with cooperating nodes in order to combat multipath fading. In this paper, we propose the use of network coding over some scenarios in relay networks, in order to mitigate the propagation of errors in a wireless network that maximizes throughput using network coding. In short, we propose a scheme for a wireless network using channel side information and ideas based on network coding.
