Using network coding can significantly increase network throughput,but it will inevitably increase the complexity of the work.In order to solve this problem,a new network coding algorithm for wireless mesh networks was proposed for a specific topology.In the wireless multicast network,the same multicast capacity can be achieved by applying network coding only on the links entering relay nodes.Hence,this new algorithm allows intermediate recipients which link with the destinations to select routing after receiving coded packets by constructing a virtual source node.Compared with the traditional COPE coding algorithm,the new algorithm will reduce the number of the original data packet transmission,thereby increasing the network throughput measured by network coding gain.Simulation results show the effectiveness of the algorithm.
