We present a network coding scheme which is designed for improving throughput in multi-hop wireless network with multi-radio multi-channel. The co-channel interference and unreliability of wireless transmissions cause the wireless network to reduce throughput. In wireless network, multi-radio multi-channel technology shows benefit to cut down channel interferences and contentions. And network coding can reduce the complexity of scheduling and improve throughput by increasing usage of links in wireless network. In this paper, we propose a method of channel assignment and transmission scheduling in intra-session network coding that efficiently improve throughput for multi-hop wireless network by using mathematical modeling and linear programming. Moreover, we evaluate the performance of the intra-session network coding scheme by using AMPL with CPLEX. The simulation results show that intra-session network coding can achieve better throughput than traditional routing.

Intra-session network coding has been proposed to improve throughput by simplifying scheduling of multi-hop wireless network and efficiency of packet transmission. Multi-rate transmission has been used in multihop wireless networks. An opportunistic routing with multirate shows throughput improvement compared with single rate. In this paper, we propose a method of throughput improvement in multi-hop wireless network by using multi-rate and intra-session network coding. We suggest a method to select an local optimal transmission rate at each node. The maximum throughput is evaluated by using linear programming (LP). To solve the LP, we use MATLAB and lp_solve IDE program. The performance evaluation results show that end-to-end throughput is improved by using multirate and intra-session network coding can achieve better throughput than opportunistic routing.

In this paper, we propose a method for throughput improvement in multirate multihop wireless networks with intra-session network coding. A multirate transmission supports several rates so that it has a tradeoff between transmission rate and transmission range, therefore multirate can cope with the performance degradation. We present the rate selection method with intra-session network coding in multirate nodes. The effective transmission rate is calculated by using intra-session network coding, and then its maximum effective transmission rate is selected. Concurrent transmission set is determined by selected transmission rate and then the linear programming is formulated for throughput calculation in multihop wireless networks. We evaluate the performance by using MATLAB and lp_solve programs in two topologies. It is shown that the throughput of the proposed method is improved.

Supporting video streaming over multi-hop wireless networks is particularly challenging due to the time-varying and error-prone characteristics of the wireless channel. In this paper, we propose a joint optimization scheme for video streaming over multi-hop wireless networks. Our coding scheme, called Joint Source/Network Coding (JSNC), combines source coding and network coding to maximize the video quality under the limited wireless resources and coding constraints. JSNC segments the streaming data into generations at the source node and exploits the intra-session coding on both the source and the intermediate nodes. The size of the generation and the level of redundancy influence the streaming performance significantly and need to be determined carefully. We formulate the problem as an optimization problem with the objective of minimizing the end-to-end distortion by jointly considering the generation size and the coding redundancy. The simulation results demonstrate that, with the appropriate generation size and coding redundancy, the JSNC scheme can achieve an optimal performance for video streaming over multi-hop wireless networks.
