Abstract:
A network system for increasing data throughput and decreasing transmission delay from a source node to a sink node via a relay node. The network system may comprise a source node configured to encode a plurality of data packets using rateless coding and transmit the plurality of data packets; at least one relay node configured to receive at least one of the plurality of data packets from the source node, and if the at least one relay node has received a sufficient quantity of the plurality of data packets, regenerate, re-encode, and relay the plurality of data packets; and a sink node configured to receive one or more of the plurality of data packets from the at least one relay node, and if the sink node has received the sufficient quantity of the plurality of data packets, regenerate and decode the plurality of data packets.

Claim (Index 8):
A method for increasing data throughput and decreasing transmission delay from a source node to a sink node via a relay node, the method comprising:\n receiving, by the relay node, a first sufficient quantity of a plurality of data packets originating from the source node, wherein the source node (1) encodes the plurality of data packets using rateless coding and (2) transmits the plurality of data packets to the relay node, and responsive to receiving the first sufficient quantity of the plurality of data packets, regenerating, re-encoding, and relaying the first sufficient quantity of the plurality of data packets by the relay node, wherein (1) the relay node (a) uses intra-session network coding to re-encode a first set of data packets from the first sufficient quantity of the plurality of data packets in the same batch of the same session, and (b) uses inter-session network coding to re-encode a second set of data packets from the first sufficient quantity of the plurality of data packets destined to different next-hop nodes, and (2) the sink node (a) receives a second sufficient quantity of the plurality of data packets transmitted by the relay node, and (b) regenerates and decodes the second sufficient quantity of the plurality of data packets, wherein the second sufficient quantity of the plurality of data packets comprises mixed data packets from at least two different flows.
