Apparatus and method using matrix network coding

摘要

Provided are a communication apparatus and method using a matrix network coding scheme. The communication apparatus includes a reception unit to receive a corrupted packet including a plurality of corrupted words, and a controller to estimate a first decoded word corresponding to the corrupted words based on the corrupted words and a generator matrix. The controller generates a second decoded word corresponding to the corrupted words based on a codebook and the estimated first decoded word. The codebook is based on the generator matrix. The controller generates a message based on a plurality of second decoded words respectively corresponding to the plurality of corrupted words.

1. A communication apparatus, comprising:
a transmission and reception unit configured to receive a first packet; and a controller configured to decode the first packet to generate information of N second packets, and to decode the N second packets using the information to generate N messages, wherein the first packet is a packet generated using a matrix network coding on the N second packets, the N second packets are packets generated by encoding the N messages using N codebooks, and N is an integer value greater than zero.
