Abstract :
In this paper a new method for the identification of sub-topologies, suitable for the implementation of network coding in a wireless mesh network is presented. When nodes are positioned in certain locations relative to each other they create an environment where network coding opportunities can be identified for instances where certain data flows occurs between nodes in that environment. If nodes forming those sub-topologies can be informed of the occurring coding opportunities, it would improve the performance of the network.
