Abstract
A network system for increasing data throughput and decreasing transmission delay along a data link from a source node to a sink node via a relay node is provided. The network system may include a first node configured to encode a second multitude of data packets based on an estimated rank distribution expressing a quality of the data link and transmit the encoded second multitude of data packets. The network system may also include at least a second node configured to estimate the rank distribution based on a first multitude of data packets received from the first node prior to receiving at least one of the encoded second multitude of data packets, transmit the estimated rank distribution to the first node, and regenerate the second multitude of data packets if receiving a sufficient quantity of the encoded second multitude of data packets.
