Abstract
In one embodiment, a controller predicts an occurrence of an event in a wireless network, based in part on a movement of a mobile node of the wireless network. The controller initiates application of network-layer forward error correction encoding to a stream of packets to be sent during the event between the mobile node and an access point of the wireless network, to form one or more encoded packets. The controller causes the one or more encoded packets to be transmitted in conjunction with the stream of packets during the event. The controller ceases application of the network-layer forward error correction encoding after the event has occurred.
