Natural growth codes: Partial recovery under random network coding
Shirish Subhash Karande, Kiran Misra, Hayder Radha · 2008
Growth codes (GC) improve the disruption tolerance of zero-configuration sensor networks by providing graceful data recovery. Here, we highlight the existence of periphery monitoring topologies which are conducive for graceful recovery. In such networks, the performance of random network coding (RNC) is observed to be superior to that of GCs. RNC increases the data persistence, while maintaining a lower delay.
