Abstract
Apparatus, methods, and computer-readable media for network coding for dual connectivity are disclosed herein. A base station (BS) sends encoded symbols from a first network coding layer to a first radio link control (RLC) layer and transmits, to a user equipment (UE), encoded data comprising the encoded symbols. The BS also transmits encoded data to a road side unit (RSU) for passing to the UE as a split transmission. The UE can receive encoded packets from the BS and RSU at a network coding layer via a second RLC layer. The UE recovers source packets from the encoded packets with a rateless network code at the network coding layer. The UE sequences the source packets into an ordered set of source packets at the network coding layer and sends the ordered set of source packets from the network coding layer to a packet data convergence protocol layer for processing.
