Abstract:
Network Coding is an efficient concept to improve the network capacity under lossy channels. In this paper, we present a scheme based on Serially Concatenated Code (SCC) that has been proposed in the literature and comprises an outer fountain code and Random Linear Network Coding (RLNC) as an inner code to allow intermediate nodes to re-encode the information. We have placed SCC in a shim layer between the Medium Access Control (MAC) and Network layers where the (de-)coders operate. Furthermore, a header for the SCC scheme was also introduced that carries the information required for decoding the information. Simulation results in a fading IEEE 802.11 channel and an analysis based on the IEEE 802.11 basic access scheme, show that SCC can indeed improve the performance when it is carefully designed and can provide a means of enabling robust communications without the use of ACKs and retransmissions (i.e. multicast/broadcast communications).
