Abstract Network coding (NC) is a promising paradigm that has been shown to improve throughput and provide elegant solutions to both wired and wireless networks. For wired infrastructure, many researchers have proposed to employ NC as an essential mechanism to reach the maximum network capacity. A variety of systems have been deployed in practice for multimedia multicast applications. For wireless infrastructure, it is known that networks using WiFi/802.11 suffer from a number of unique problems, including low throughput, dead spots, and inadequate support of mobility. However, these networks also have some characteristics, such as the broadcast nature of the medium, spatial diversity, and significant data redundancy, which would provide an opportunity to address these problems efficiently using network coding. This talk presents some basic concepts and principles of wired and wireless NC, e.g., Min-Cut/Max-Flow, butterfly example of linear network coding, physical layer network coding. The talk will also involve some advanced topics in this research area, such as fountain code based network coding.
Speaker’s Bio Dr. Bo Rong received the B.S. degree from Shandong University in 1993, the M.S. degree from Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics in 1997, and the Ph.D. degree from Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications in 2001. He is currently a Research Scientist with Communications Research Centre (CRC) Canada, Ottawa, ON. He is also an Adjunct Professor at Ecole de technologie superieure (ETS), Universite du Quebec, Canada. Dr. Rong has authored or coauthored over 70 technical papers in major journals and conferences, as well as two book chapters in the areas of wireless networking & communications. Many of these publications have theoretical and practical significance to the research community and industry. For example, his work “Call Admission Control Optimization in WiMAX Networks,” was ranked #1 most accessed paper in August 2008 among all papers published in IEEE Transactions on Vehicular Technology, and #69 among all IEEE papers. Dr. Rong’s current research interests include cognitive wireless access, OFDM, channel coding, network coding, cooperative networks, and wireless sensor networks.
