Analysis of average packet acquisition time on wireless butterfly-typed network coding scheme

Abstract

In this paper, the wireless butterfly-typed network coding scheme is considered. The average packet acquisition time of the wireless network coding scheme is evaluated by theoretical analysis. The effect of the wireless network coding scheme is shown by comparing with the system without network coding scheme. Consequently, it is shown that the wireless network coding scheme is superior to the system without network coding scheme in the reliable channel environment. However, when the distance between nodes becomes longer, the network coding scheme has no effect on shortening of average packet acquisition time.
