Network coding, a relatively new area of research, has evolved
from the theoretical level to become a tool used to optimize the
performance of communication networks – wired, cellular, ad
hoc, etc. The idea consists of mixing ‘packets’ of data
together when routing them from source to destination. Since
network coding increases the network performance, it becomes a tool
to enhance the existing protocols and algorithms in a network or
for applications such as peer-to-peer and TCP.
This book delivers an understanding of network coding and provides
a set of studies showing the improvements in security, capacity and
performance of fixed and mobile networks. This is increasingly
topical as industry is increasingly becoming more reliant upon and
applying network coding in multiple applications. Many cases where
network coding is used in routing, physical layer, security,
flooding, error correction, optimization and relaying are given
– all of which are key areas of interest.
Network Coding is the ideal resource for university students
studying coding, and researchers and practitioners in sectors of
all industries where digital communication and its application
needs to be correctly understood and implemented.
