New Techniques for Network-Coded Multicast Distribution in Wireless Communications Networks
Abstract
We propose to investigate the effective use of network coding for multicast distribution of information in militarywireless communications networks. The results of the proposed basic research project will permit the Navy to take advantage of network codes that are available currently and new network codes that will be devised during the next decade. Our novel adaptive techniques for network-coded multicast distribution are compatible with all forms of network coding. The proposed basic research is focused on innovations that maximize the benefits of network coding for the communications environments in which military wireless networks must operate. A broad range of information distribution methods will be devised to accommodate the variety of network topologies, node capabilities, and mobility requirements that arise in military communications. Each method integrates adaptive transmission and network coding to mitigate the effects of time-varying fading, shadowing, and interference on the links of military wireless networks. The project will also provide training and research experiences for students, and it will enhance their future careers in research and development for military wireless communication systems and networks.
