Abstract

To address the problem of information spreading over lossy communication channels, this paper proposes a joint FoUntain coding and Network coding (FUN) approach. Different from the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP), our FUN approach is a mechanism of Forward Error Correction (FEC), which does not use retransmission for recovery of lost packets. The novelty of our FUN approach lies in combining the best features of fountain coding, intrasession network coding, and cross-next-hop network coding. As such, our FUN approach is capable of achieving unprecedented high throughput over lossy channels. Experimental results demonstrate that our FUN approach achieves higher throughput than the existing schemes for multihop wireless networks.
