Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 14:
15. An apparatus for wireless communication comprising:
a memory; and
one or more processors coupled to the memory, wherein the apparatus is configured to:
receive a plurality of network coded packets from multiple transmitter devices, each of the plurality of network coded packets including data for a common source packet, and wherein to receive the plurality of network coded packets from the multiple transmitter devices, the apparatus is configured to:
receive a first network coded packet from a first transmitter device of the multiple transmitter devices; and
receive a second network coded packet from a second transmitter device of the multiple transmitter devices;

decode one or more of the network coded packets, based on a network coding scheme, to recover the common source packet, wherein to decode the one or more of the network coded packets, the apparatus is configured to:
decode the first network coded packet;
determine that the second network coded packet cannot be decoded; and
recover the common source packet using the first network coded packet;
generate feedback based on the decoding, the feedback indicating that the common source packet was recovered; and
transmit the feedback to one or more of the multiple transmitter devices.
