Abstract

In this paper, we developed a distributed rate control and routing algorithm for multicast session in ad hoc networks. We studied the case with dynamic arrivals and departures of the users. With random network coding, the algorithm can be implemented, and work at transport layer to adjust source rates and at network layer to carry out network coding in a distributed manner. The scheduling element of our algorithm is a dynamic scheduling policy. Numerical examples are provided to complement our theoretical analysis. Modeling and solution algorithm can be easily tuned according to a specific networking technology.
