Store-and-forward had been the predominant technique for transmitting information through
a network until its optimality was refuted by network coding theory. Network coding offers a …

This article surveys all known fields of network coding theory and leads the reader through
the antecedents of the network coding theory to the most recent results, considering also …

This book is an evolution from my book A First Course in Information Theory published in
2002 when network coding was still at its infancy. The last few years have witnessed the …

Network coding is a new research area that may have interesting applications in practical
networking systems. With network coding, intermediate nodes may send out packets that are …

Network coding is an elegant and novel technique introduced at the turn of the millennium to
improve network throughput and performance. It is expected to be a critical technology for …

Traditional approaches to reliably transmit information over an error-prone network employ
either forward error correction (FEC) or retransmission techniques. In this paper, we propose …

We propose a method to identify structural properties of multicast network configurations, by
decomposing networks into regions through which the same information flows. This …

This survey summarizes the state-of-the-art research on network coding, mainly focusing on
its applications to computer networking. Network coding generalizes traditional store-and …

Cooperative diversity has gained much interest due to its ability to mitigate multipath fading
without using multiple antennas. There has been considerable research on how cooperative …

We examine the throughput benefits that network coding offers with respect to the average
throughput achievable by routing, where the average throughput refers to the average of the …
