Classic Channels Related Network Coding
Zhuojun Zhuang · ZTE communications · 2009
The traditional networks transmit information in a store-and-forward manner. Unfortunately, the coding rate cannot achieve the max-flow bound. In order to improve the reliable transmission efficiency, Ahlswede et al. introduced the network coding theory. Network coding can not only increase network throughput, but also advance in data universalness, robustness, reliability and security. Generally, the channels in a network are interfered by noises. Therefore, the most important research areas in the network coding theory include multiple user channel, separation theorem for network coding and privacy capacity region.
