Network-coded cooperative extension of link level FEC in DVB-SH
Giuseppe Cocco, Nader S. Alagha, Christian Ibars · 2011
In this paper we propose a cooperative ad-hoc networking approach which leverages on network coding (NC) for enhancing coverage in Digital Video Broadcasting - Satellite Handheld (DVB-SH) systems. Our numerical results, based on physical layer abstraction, show that a cooperative relaying system based on network coding can bring important benefits in terms of both throughput and coverage with respect to a system in which nodes receive from satellite only, as well as with respect to a system in which nodes cooperate through a simple relaying scheme.
