Enhancing performance of wireless ad-hoc networks with network coding

A wireless ad-hoc network can be made to perform better via a range of approaches. One such approach is network coding, which involves broadcasting of encoded packets and therefore can substantially enhance network capacity whilst preserving the quality of service. The use of routing algorithms that are aware of network coding can help to strengthen the benefits of this approach. In order to gain a more comprehensive understanding of the limitations associated with network coding and how it can be improved, the present study undertakes an investigation of the approach's benefits, assessment and comparison based on existing network coding algorithms, routing-supported algorithms for network coding, as well as a uniquely developed simulation model of network coding. According to the findings, compared to networks without network coding, those with network coding can manage traffic up to two times greater.
