Abstract
A method of transmitting data across a wireless mesh network is described which uses network coding at each of the intermediate nodes between the source node and the destination node. Each intermediate node also controls the rate at which it broadcasts packets based on link congestion and the backlog of packets at each of the possible next-hop nodes for the data flow.
