Network coding is a powerful generalization of the store-and-forward approach commonly adopted in today's networks, by allowing information to be intelligently processed or coded at intermediate nodes. Among the usage scenarios for network coding, multicast communication is best understood. However, the benefits of network coding go beyond multicast communications. This talk will present some results on the use of network coding in non-multicast scenarios:
A constructive approach to inter-session network coding and its application to layered multimedia distribution
Network coding-aware routing in multi-hop wireless networks
Network coding for distributed storage systems.
