Local-directed network coding in vehicular ad-hoc networks
Haojie Luo, Dongdong Zhang, Chen Ye · 2010
In this paper, we proposed a novel network coding method called local-directed network coding to improve the throughput of the vehicular ad-hoc network. Different from other vehicular network coding methods, we consider the direction of packet transmission. In detail, the intermediate node selects one main packet and some sub-packets from forwards and backwards sending queues, and then encodes these packets into one packet to broadcast. Simulation results show that our approach can efficiently improve the throughput of application layer in vehicular networks.
