On network coding and routing in dynamic wireless multicast networks
Tracey Ho, Jia-qi Jin · CaltechAUTHORS (California Institute of Technology) · 2006
We compare multicast network coding and routing for a time-varying wireless network model with interference- determined link capacities. We use dynamic back pressure algorithms that are optimal for intra-session network coding and routing respectively. Our results suggest that under such conditions, the gap in multicast capacity between network coding and routing can decrease relative to a collision-based wireless model with fixed link capacities.
