Performance Modeling of Network Coding in Epidemic Routing

Tags:
switching

Overview Epidemic routing has been proposed to reduce the data transmission delay in opportunistic networks, in which data can be either replicated or network coded along the opportunistic multiple paths. This paper introduce an analytical framework to study the performance of network coding based epidemic routing, in comparison with replication based epidemic routing. With extensive simulations, the paper show that this model successfully characterizes these two protocols and demonstrates the superiority of network coding in opportunistic networks when bandwidth and node buffers are limited. Then the paper propose a priority variant of the network coding based protocol, which has the salient feature that the destination can decode a high priority subset of the data much earlier than it can decode any data without the priority scheme.

VoIP primer: How it works - and what the jargon means

The packets that make up the audio stream may take different routes from node to node over the network in question but and are put back into order at the termination point to make up the audio that we recognise as conversation.

Live Webcast: Telecoms 2.0 - Where is telecoms heading?

In this webcast, our panel of experts will review where we are with next generation telecoms in the UK, working through the concept of 'Telecoms 2.0': - Realising the potential of Next Generation Networks - why it isn't just about the technology? - What attributes should firms be looking for in their telco partner? - Is the relationship between telco provider and customer changing? - What things need to happen to make next generation services a reality? - You say you want the supplier to change. Do you want to change too? - What is Telecoms 2.0?

Telecom 2.0: Mind over matter

ntl:Telewest Business believes that the role of the telco is evolving. Gone are the days when it was enough to simply focus on circuits and minutes, customers now need a far higher degree of interaction and look for suppliers who will talk business solutions with them.
