Abstract

We propose an efficient reliability improvement method in a MANET environment by applying network coding encoded by a relay node. Reliability is improved without requiring the source node to send redundant encoding packets. As shown by simulations, the packet delivery ratio of our proposed method is as high as the existing encoding method, packet-level forward error control (FEC), but our method has a longer delay than FEC and split multipath routing (SMR) in an environment with packet errors. In addition, packet overhead in our proposed method is improved by decreasing the number of packets transmitted by the source node. Thus, our proposed method realizes more efficient and reliable data transmission, especially in comparison with FEC.
