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 …

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 …

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 …

Unlike the Telephone network or the Internet, many of the next generation networks are not
engineered for the purpose of providing efficient communication between various networked …

We consider the use of random linear network coding in lossy packet networks. In particular,
we consider the following simple strategy: nodes store the packets that they receive and …

Network coding promises to significantly impact the way communications networks are
designed, operated, and understood. This book presents a unified and intuitive overview of …

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 …

Network coding can significantly improve the transmission rate of communication networks
with packet loss compared with routing. However, using network coding usually incurs high …

Cellular networks (eg, 3G) are currently facing severe traffic overload problems caused by
excessive traffic demands. Offloading part of the cellular traffic through other forms of …

Motivated by real world networks and use of algorithms based on random walks on these
networks we study the simple random walks on dynamic undirected graphs with fixed …
