Min Luo, Juan Feng, Bao Lin Sun · Applied Mechanics and Materials · 2014
Network coding (NC) in wireless sensor network (WSN) has been shown to achieve considerable throughput gains relative to traditional routing networks. While the data throughput capacity of WSNs is unknown, the scaling of capacity with the number of nodes has recently received increasing attention. This paper proposes a Complex Field Network Coding-based Multipath Routing (CFNC-MR) in WSN. The performance of this routing method is studied using NS2 and evaluated in terms of the packet overhead, packet delivery ratio, and packet loss ratio when a packet is transmitted. Simulation shows that the approach is efficient, promising and applicable in WSNs.
