Abstract

Network-coding-enabled reliability architectures and techniques are provided that are capable of enhancing data transfer reliability and efficiency in next generation wireless networks. In some embodiments, the techniques and architectures utilize a flexible thread-based coding approach to implement network coding. The techniques and architectures may also, or alternatively, utilize systematic intra-session random linear network coding as a packet erasure code to support reliable data transfer.
