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 20):
A machine implemented method for use in a helper node of a wireless mesh network, the method comprising:\n overhearing random linear network coded (RLNC) packets transmitted by a source node to a remote destination node through the wireless mesh network for a first group of original packets at the helper node; re-coding overheard RLNC packets at the helper node for the first group of original packets to create re-coded RLNC packets comprising linear combinations of the overheard RLNC packets; initiating transmission at the helper node of the re-coded RLNC packets to the remote destination node for the first group of original packets of a data flow after a delay, calculated via delay circuitry, by the helper node.
