Symmetric video multicast over multihop wireless network using Inter-/Intra-session network coding

In this paper, we consider symmetric video unicast/multicast over multi-hop wireless network with dense nodes, which could be applied on for example three-party video conference. We followed the cross-layer design framework, and focus on joint rate (application-layer) and flow (transport-layer) adaptation scheme to exploit the flexible rate provided by Scalable Video Coding (SVC). Intra-session and Inter-session network coding is applied, which improves the total video quality as demonstrated by simulation results.
