Abstract

This work aims at introducing two novel packet retransmission techniques for reliable multicast in the framework of Instantly Decodable Network Coding (IDNC). These methods are suitable for order- and delay-sensitive applications, where some information is of high importance for an earlier gain at the receiver´s side. We introduce hence an Unequal Error Protection (UEP) scheme, showing by simulations that the Quality of Experience (QoE) for the end-users is improved even without complex encoding and decoding.
