Fireworks: A random linear coding scheme for distributed storage in wireless sensor networks

In this paper, we investigate the design of decentralized encoding procedure for distributed random linear coding (RLC) in resource-constrained wireless networks. We propose a novel distributed RLC scheme called “Fireworks”, analyze its performance and support it by simulation results. The presented results demonstrate design flexibility of the proposed scheme, where the design choices influence the trade-off between the coding efficiency and encoding communication costs.
