Joint Use of Multi-Packet Reception and Network Coding for Performance Improvement

Exclusively Licensed

Network coding and multiple packet reception (MPR) are used together in a wireless network. In at least one implementation, a novel medium access control (MAC) protocol is provided that enhances throughput in a wireless mesh network that uses network coding and MPR by providing fairness to information flows, rather than fairness to individual nodes.
