Wireless network using network coding, and method of adaptively adjusting buffering time in wireless network

摘要

A wireless network using network coding, and a method of adaptively adjusting buffering time in the wireless network, are provided. A communication method of a cross node in a wireless network, includes determining information associated with a number of hops between a source node and the cross node, and/or a number of hops between the cross node and a destination node. The method further includes adaptively adjusting a buffering time at the cross node based on the information. The method further includes buffering a packet received by the cross node based on the adjusted buffering time. The method further includes performing network coding of the buffered packet and another packet.

1. A communication method executed by a cross node operating in a wireless network, the method comprising:
determining information associated with the number of hops between a source node and the cross node and/or the number of hops between the cross node and a destination node; adaptively adjusting a buffering time at the cross node based on the information; buffering a packet received by the cross node for the adjusted buffering time; and performing, after the expiration of the adjusted buffering time, network coding of the buffered packet and another packet received by the cross node.
