On applicability of the network coding techniqe to 6LoWPAN/IEEE802.15.4-based sensor networks
Jarosław Krygier, Marek Amanowicz · 2013
In this paper we discuss the conditions of network coding technique applicability to 6LoWPAN/IEEE802.15.4-based sensor networks. The paper shows that the network coding technique based on the COPE solution can be used in sensor network however not without constraints. The main problem concerns a limited memory of the sensor nodes, header compression used in 6LoWPAN standard and limitations in 6LoWPAN implementations.
