Abstract
The present disclosure is directed to networks having increased reliability and associated methods. In one aspect, a method for increasing reliability of a multi-hop network can include generating an erasure correction packet from a data packet using an encoder system, and splitting the erasure correction packet into a plurality of erasure correction subpackets. The erasure correction subpackets can then be transmitted across a plurality of network paths of a multi-node network using a communication system. The method can also include identifying successfully received erasure correction subpackets, and regenerating the data packet from the successfully received erasure correction subpackets using a data aggregation system and a decoder system.
