Abstract
Network protocols and methods of transmitting data over wireless networks, including wireless mesh networks, are provided. A method of data transmission in wireless networks can include sending packets from one or more terminal nodes to one or more relay nodes, recoding the packets in the one or more relay nodes, and transmitting the recoded packets from the one or more relay nodes to the one or more terminal nodes. The relay nodes can linearly recombine the received packets before retransmission. The terminal nodes can utilize the linearly recombined terminal nodes to recover packets by solving a set of linear equations using their original packets.
