Book description
Network coding, a relatively new area of research, has evolved from
the theoretical level to become a tool used to optimize the
performance of communication networks - wired, cellular, ad hoc, etc.
The idea consists of mixing “packets” of data together when routing
them from source to destination. Since network coding increases the
network performance, it becomes a tool to enhance the existing
protocols and algorithms in a network or for applications such as
peer-to-peer and TCP.
This book delivers an understanding of
network coding and provides a set of studies showing the improvements
in security, capacity and performance of fixed and mobile networks.
This is increasingly topical as industry is increasingly becoming more
reliant upon and applying network coding in multiple applications.
Many cases where network coding is used in routing, physical layer,
security, flooding, error correction, optimization and relaying are
given - all of which are key areas of interest.
Network Coding is
the ideal resource for university students studying coding, and
researchers and practitioners in sectors of all industries where
digital communication and its application needs to be correctly
understood and implemented.
