Network coding and opportunistic routing are two recognized innovative ideas to improve the performance of wireless networks by utilizing the broadcast nature of the wireless medium. In the last decade, there has been considerable research on how to synergize inter-flow network coding and opportunistic routing in a single joint protocol outperforming each in any scenario. This paper explains the motivation behind the integration of these two techniques, and highlights certain scenarios in which the joint approach may even degrade the performance, emphasizing the fact that their synergistic effect cannot be accomplished with a naive and perfunctory combination. This survey paper also provides a comprehensive taxonomy of the joint protocols in terms of their fundamental components and associated challenges, and compares existing joint protocols. We also present concluding remarks along with an outline of future research directions.Inter-flow network coding, opportunistic routing, network coding-aware routing, unicast traffic, multi-hop wireless mesh networks. I. INTRODUCTIONWireless mesh network (WMN) [1], [2] is a type of wireless communication networks aiming to realize the dream of a seamlessly connected world. In mesh infrastructure, radio nodes are connected via wireless links creating a multi-hop wireless network, and nodes can talk to each other and pass data over long distances. This is realized by forming long paths consisting of smaller segments and handing off data over mulitple hops. This cooperative data delivery is the key idea of mesh networks to share connectivity across a large area with inexpensive wireless technologies.Despite these advancements, users' expectations rise fast, and new applications require higher throughput and lower delay [3]. In addition, the performance of wireless networks is significantly restricted by interference, and the unreliability of the wireless channel. Also, it is adversely affected by the contention among different data flows and devices in sharing bandwidth and other network resources. However, since the last decade two promising approaches of "Opportunistic Routing" and "Network Coding" are proved to improve the performance of wireless networks significantly by creatively utilizing the broadcast nature of the wireless medium.Network coding (NC), more specifically inter-flow network coding (IXNC), is the process of forwarding more than one packet in each transmission. Doing so, it increases the "effective" capacity of the network [4] and improves the throughput. Opportunistic routing 1 (OR) also benefits from the broadcast nature of wireless networks via path diversity. In OR, in contrast to traditional forwarding, there is no fixed route, and nodes do not forward a packet to a specified pre-selected next-hop. In fact, a node first broadcasts the packet, and then the next-hop is selected among all neighbors that have received the packet successfully. In addition, as explained in Section II-B, OR can reduce the total number of transmissions by exploiting long but p...

“…Typical drawbacks are the loss of connectivity or message corruption and, as a consequence, a loss of data packets, an increase of the delay jitter, an increased number of missed deadlines, and the loss of synchronization between network nodes . The use of network coding (NC) techniques to support cooperative communication has been proposed as a mean to increase the reliability of WSNs communication, for optimizing its bandwidth usage or for reducing its overall energy consumption . In essence, some cooperative relay nodes in the network combine multiple overheard messages into single messages using NC techniques, and at the destination arrival, the independent information will be reliably extracted.…”

Summary The use of wireless sensor network nodes to support reliable communication exposes some challenging issues. For instance, the reduced available bandwidth combined with an error‐prone communication medium impairs the provision of reliable communication services. Network coding techniques can be useful to mitigate some of these issues, where multiple message groups can be combined into single messages and retransmitted to their destinations, improving the network reliability and reducing the bandwidth consumption. However, an effective use of network coding requires the availability of wireless sensor network nodes able to encode/decode messages within the required timing constraints. This paper reports an experimental assessment of commercial off‐the‐shelf wireless sensor network nodes, running a set of network coding encoding/decoding tasks. The assessed nodes range from the high‐performance ARM Cortex‐M7 to the low capability Arduino Uno platforms, including some of the most popular ARM Cortex and ATMEL AVR processors. The performed experimental assessment demonstrates that highly complex network coding techniques (with fields as large as F28) can be efficiently implemented on a wide range of wireless sensor network nodes, including ARM Cortex, ATMEL AVR, and Arduino Uno platforms, smoothing some relevant reliable communication implementation issues.
