Application of Weighted Coding in Wireless Networks

As the performance of the Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks and Wireless Communication Networks becomes important. The need for better and protected techniques to secure the transmission of information across these networks gathers importance. Among a few number of techniques suggested and implemented so far perhaps one method which has been overlooked is the weighting technique which could be applied to any digital coding techniques used by the wireless networks. In this research application of what is termed as "Weighted Pulse Code Modulation (WPCM)" is considered together with its pros and cons. Implementation of a prototype system and results obtained are analyzed. Simulation results have shown that application of this method could be an effective path in delivering higher and efficient throughput when backbone path of such networks becomes severely constrained.
