APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING A NODE IN SYSTEM FOR DETERMINING NETWORK CODING NODE FROM AMONG A PLURALITY OF NODES

摘要

PURPOSE: A device for reducing costs and a method thereof are provided to execute a network coding process in selected nodes by selecting one or more nodes included in a network. CONSTITUTION: A neighbor node determination unit(102) determines one or more neighboring nodes forming a local network with one or more nodes. A concentration receiver(104) receives the concentration of the neighboring node from the neighboring node. A coding node determination unit(105) determines a network coding node from the neighboring nodes by considering the concentration of the neighboring node. An alarm signal transmission unit(106) transmits an alarm signal notifying the execution of the network coding process to the network coding node.
