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...

description 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 model of NC at the medium access control (MAC) sublayer and analyze the impact of NC on packet delay. Our analysis is validated through discrete-event simulation and demonstrates significant delay advantages for NC under high loads and localized traffic.
