Network-Coding-Based Cooperative ARQ Medium Access Control Protocol for Wireless Sensor Networks

We introduce a novel Medium Access Control (MAC) protocol for Automatic Repeat reQuest-based (ARQ-based) cooperative wireless sensor networks. Using network coding techniques, we achieve a better network performance in terms of energy efficiency without compromising the offered Quality of Service (Q...
