Abstract :
It is a challenge that network coding achieve wide use in wireless mesh networks. Network coding must be compatible or friendly with TCP in practice. We propose a mechanism that naturally add network coding to current network systems. In our scheme, the destination feedback the degree of freedom of encoding block, and delays of packet delivery minimize reordering and timeouts. Using multipath routing, the source side can send more encode packets and the transmission rate becomes more faster, as a result, the network achieves higher throughput compared to TCP in the presence of lossy wireless links.
