Abstract :
In this work we compare scheduling and coding strategies for a source node serving multiple multicast flows in a network. The coding strategy we consider is a form of random coding proposed in [6] and involves coding across flows, as treated in [2]. We show that there are configurations for which the coding strategy outperforms any scheduling strategy that uses channel state information.
