Claim 13:
14. An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:
a receiver 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;
a processing system comprising one or more processors, the processing system being configured to:
determine that the plurality of network coded packets includes a first network coded packet from a first transmitter device of the multiple transmitter devices and 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 at least one processor 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; and

generate feedback based on the decoding, the feedback indicating that the common source packet was recovered; and

a transmitter configured to transmit the feedback to one or more of the multiple transmitter devices.
