Throughput analysis of IEEE 802.11 wireless networks with network coding

In this paper we propose a throughput performance model for IEEE 802.11 wireless network with network coding. Specifically, we consider IEEE DEC protocol and linear topology in which traffic sources are located at both ends and intermediate nodes act as relays with a coding rule. Numerical results show that our analytic model is sufficiently accurate and can be utilized in design of IEEE 802.11 wireless networks with network coding.
