Abstract:Rateless Codes can reduce retransmission costs over erasure channels. Existing routing algorithms using rateless codes assume densely connected networks and pre-decide the forwarder nodes which subsequently participate in message forwarding. Using a rateless code which is easy to analyze and implement, we propose practically implementable opportunistic message forwarding algorithms for sparsely connected networks in which all the nodes can potentially participate in forwarding, and study their performance thro… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
