Distributed Coding Aware-Routing in Wireless Networks

Recently, there has been a growing interest of using network coding to improve the performance of wireless networks.DCAR, the first distributed coding-aware routing mechanism which combines the discovery for available paths between a given source and destination, and the detection for potential network coding opportunities. DCAR has the potential to find high throughput paths with coding opportunities while conventional routing fails to do so. In addition, DCAR can detect coding opportunities on the entire path, thus eliminating the "two-hop" coding limitation in.
