Abstract:
A protocol for use in wireless mesh networks uses helper nodes to improve data flow in the network. The protocol is compatible with traditional mesh network routing algorithms. Techniques, systems, devices, and circuits for implementing the protocol are described.

Claim (Index 9):
A wireless node device comprising:\n a wireless transceiver to support wireless communication with one or more other nodes in a wireless mesh network; helper node circuitry to determine whether the wireless node device is to serve as a helper node for a wireless link between a transmitting node and a receiving node in the network, wherein the transmitting node and the receiving node are both part of a common route in the network; monitoring circuitry to overhear random linear network (RLNC) coded packets transmitted by the transmitting node if the wireless node device is acting as the helper node; re-coding circuitry to re-code the overheard RLNC packets to generate linear combinations of the overheard RLNC packets if the wireless node is acting as the helper node; and delay circuitry to determine a delay and to initiate transmission of the re-coded packets a finite amount of time corresponding to the delay after a first network coded packet is overheard by the monitoring circuitry if the wireless node is acting as the helper node.
