Retransmission strategies of the generation-based network coding in packet networks

Abstract

In this paper, we address retransmission strategies of the generation-based network coding in the packet network. Our discussion focuses on how to make the retransmission more efficient. We investigate four retransmission strategies, quasi Classical ReTransmission strategy (CRT), Random ReTransmission strategy (RRT), Racket-Loss-Edge-based ReTransmission strategy (PLERT) and Minimum ReTransmission strategy (MRT). The PLERT strategy and the MRT strategies are the main contributions of this paper.
