Abstract:In complex network environments, there always exist heterogeneous devices with different computational powers. In this work, we propose a novel scalable random linear network coding (RLNC) framework based on embedded fields, so as to endow heterogeneous receivers with different decoding capabilities. In this framework, the source linearly combines the original packets over embedded fields based on a precoding matrix and then encodes the precoded packets over GF(2) before transmission to the network. After just… Show more
