Broadcasting XORs: On the Application of Network Coding in Access Point-to-Multipoint Networks

We investigate network coding (NC) in access point-to-multi-point (PMP) broadcast networks. Characterized by a shared unicast upstream channel and a time-shared broadcast downstream channel, PMP networks are widely deployed in optical and wireless access networks. We develop a queuing-theoretic mode...
