According to the characters of Ad Hoc networks,a multi-path source routing algorithm based on network coding is presented.The algorithm refers the idea of COPE.In realization,the multiple paths having maximum coding opportunity are found by caching short paths in medium nodes and labeling the medium nodes which have coding opportunity.Because network coding reduces data's transmission time,the algorithm can improve channel utilization effectively.Simulations under NS2 environment show that the new algorithm has better performance in balancing the network load and improving network throughput.
