CAR: Coding-Aware Opportunistic Routing for Unicast Traffic in Wireless Mesh …

Abstract An intermediate node in an inter-flow network coding scheme needs to know exactly which are the previous hop and next hop of a packet before coding. It is difficult to incorporate inter-flow network coding into opportunistic routing (OR) because the next hop of a packet in OR can’t be determined in advance. Coding-aware opportunistic routing (CAR) is proposed in this paper to ad…
