@article{10902/12499, year = {2017}, month = {12}, url = {http://hdl.handle.net/10902/12499}, abstract = {In this work, we propose a novel intra-flow network coding solution, which is based on the combination of a low overhead Random Linear Coding (RLC) scheme and UDP, to offer a reliable communication service. In the initial protocol specification, the required overhead could be rather large and this had an impact over the observed performance. We therefore include an improvement to reduce such overhead, by decreasing the header length. We describe an analytical model that can be used to assess the performance of the proposed scheme. We also use an implementation within the ns-3 framework to assess the correctness of this model and to broaden the analysis, considering different performance indicators and more complex network topologies. In all cases, the proposed solution clearly outperforms a more traditional approach, in which the TCP protocol is used as a means to offer a reliable communication service.}, organization = {This work has been supported by the Spanish Government by its funding through the project COSAIF, “Connectivity as a Service: Access for the Internet of the Future” (TEC2012-38754-C02-01).}, publisher = {Springer Netherlands}, publisher = {Mobile Networks and Applications, 2017, 22(6), 1113-1123}, title = {Providing reliable services over wireless networks using a low overhead random linear coding scheme}, author = {Garrido Ortiz, Pablo and Gómez Fernández, David and Lanza Calderón, Jorge and Serrat Fernandez, Joan and Agüero Calvo, Ramón}, }
