Network coding based opportunistic routing with intel-flow coding and intra-flow coding

Network Coding has received many attentions because it improves potential network throughput and robustness by the way of combining multiple packets in the routers and reducing the transmissions. There are limit opportunities for traditional best routing algorithms, because the coding opportunities depends on the number of their joint nodes in different flows. This paper proposed a new algorithm, which introduces Intel-coding and Intra-coding to the traditional routing algorithm. Compared with traditional best path routing without coding, BEND and MORE, the proposed algorithm performs better in terms of throughput and coding gain.
