Abstract :
We consider the problem of applying network coding in wireless networks with random medium access. To optimize the network coding subgraph and the transmission attempt probabilities jointly is a tractable problem only for rather small networks. Therefore, we suggest a suboptimal, yet practical and decentralized algorithm to combine network coding with random access. We illustrate the performance gains of our approach with simulations.
