Abstract

Energy efficiency, i.e., the amount of battery energy consumed to transmit bits across a wireless link, is a critical design parameter for wireless ad-hoc networks. We examine the problem of broadcasting information to all nodes in an ad-hoc network, when a large percentage of the nodes act as sources. We theoretically quantify the energy savings that network coding can offer for the cases of two regular topologies. We then propose low-complexity distributed algorithms, and demonstrate through simulation that for random networks, network coding can in fact offer significant benefits in terms of energy consumption.

Wireless network

A wireless network is a computer network that uses wireless data connections between network nodes. Wireless networking allows homes, telecommunications networks and business installations to avoid the costly process of introducing cables into a building, or as a connection between various equipment locations. Admin telecommunications networks are generally implemented and administered using radio communication. This implementation takes place at the physical level (layer) of the OSI model network structure.

Wireless mesh network

A wireless mesh network (WMN) is a communications network made up of radio nodes organized in a mesh topology. It can also be a form of wireless ad hoc network. A mesh refers to rich interconnection among devices or nodes. Wireless mesh networks often consist of mesh clients, mesh routers and gateways. Mobility of nodes is less frequent. If nodes constantly or frequently move, the mesh spends more time updating routes than delivering data.

Wireless ad hoc network

A wireless ad hoc network (WANET) or mobile ad hoc network (MANET) is a decentralized type of wireless network. The network is ad hoc because it does not rely on a pre-existing infrastructure, such as routers or wireless access points. Instead, each node participates in routing by forwarding data for other nodes. The determination of which nodes forward data is made dynamically on the basis of network connectivity and the routing algorithm in use.
