Abstract:
1. A method for network coding, comprising: encoding, by a processor, a plurality of message packets to produce a plurality of encoded packets; wherein each message packet and each encoded packet comprises a plurality of symbols having an index; wherein each symbol of the encoded packets is generated by applying a Reed-Solomon code to the symbols of the message packets having the same index as the symbol of the encoded packets; wherein a length of the encoded packets is the same as a length of the message packets; wherein the encoded packets comprise the message packets and one or more parity packets; wherein each symbol of the parity packets is generated by applying a Reed-Solomon code to the symbols of the message packets having the same index as the symbol of the parity packets and sending by the processor the resulting encoded packets to a physical layer of a wireless transmitter for wireless transmission using an existing underlying wireless communication protocol without modification.
