A main distinguishing feature of a wireless network compared with a wired network is its
broadcast nature, in which the signal transmitted by a node may reach several other nodes …

When data are transmitted in a wireless network, they reach the target receiver as well as
other receivers in the neighborhood. Rather than a blessing, this attribute is treated as an …

Recently, network coding emerged as a promising technology that can provide significant
improvements in throughput and energy efficiency of wireless networks, even for unicast …

The concept of physical-layer network coding (PNC) was proposed in 2006 for application in
wireless networks. Since then it has developed into a subfield of network coding with wide …

Network coding is an elegant and novel technique to improve network throughput and
performance. It is considered as a critical technology to facilitate ever-increasing demands of …

This paper proposes COPE, a new architecture for wireless mesh networks. In addition to
forwarding packets, routers mix (ie, code) packets from different sources to increase the …

Network coding is a technique where relay nodes mix packets using mathematical
operations, which can increase the throughput. Network coding was first proposed for wired …

When two or more users in a wireless network transmit simultaneously, their electromagnetic
signals are linearly superimposed on the channel. As a result, a receiver that is interested in …

Wireless networks suffer from a variety of unique problems such as low throughput, dead
spots, and inadequate support for mobility. However, their characteristics such as the …

As a subfield of network coding, PNC can effectively enhance the throughput of wireless
networks by mapping superimposed signals at the receiver to other forms of user messages …
