Abstract

Network Coding is a recent technique that has many advantages such as reducing the bandwidth consumption and increasing the throughput. IROCX [1] is a routing algorithm that applies Network Coding while considering the interference impact. However, it assumes a constant transmission power. We extend IROCX by allowing the nodes to transmit with several power levels. Our approach, TC-IROCX (Topology Control on Interference-aware Opportunistically Coded Exchanges) aims at maximizing the number of accepted flows. The simulation results show that TC-IROCX adjusts the transmission power according to the network state in order to enhance the acceptation rate.
