An improved AODV routing protocol with network coding in wireless Ad Hoc network

This paper introduces a practical scheme in order to improve multi-hop throughput as well as to minimize packet's average end to end delay by incorporating network coding, which is at present a widely discussed technique in multicast, with AODV in wireless ad hoc networks. This scheme is simple and easily implemented with modest overhead, and the simulation results show that this scheme can achieve higher throughput and much smaller packet's average end to end delay in certain network topology.
