Abstract

IEEE 802.11 infrastructure wireless local area network (WLAN) is increasingly popular, in which access points (APs) are applied. In a WLAN with an AP connected to the Internet, the communication between any two nodes is relayed by the AP, i.e., the AP serves all the nodes in the WLAN, which degrades throughput. In this paper, we propose a novel network coding scheme called MPOF that is able to encode multiple packets from different data flows and take data rates of links into account so that throughput is improved.

Keywords: network coding throughput ieee 80211 standard
