초록/요약

Wireless networks are spreading rapidly with various types these days. But in their current form, wireless networks still have to undergo severe deterioration of link quality due to intrinsic defect of wireless medium such as fading and interference. But the broadcast nature, a unique characteristic of the wireless medium, gives the opportunity to multiple neighbor nodes to overhear one single transmission. One positive effect caused by broadcast nature of wireless medium is spatial diversity, so that various diversity schemes were proposed recently which aim to utilize spatial diversity of wireless network by inter-node cooperation or opportunistic routing so that improve network throughput highly. But, to utilize spatial diversity, those works inevitably sacrifice spatial reusability that it may drop utilization of wireless medium. On the other hand, emerging wireless network coding techniques are the solutions for capacity gain achievement with utilization of broadcast nature of wireless medium. However, those techniques are not feasible in highly lossy environments. This thesis present hybrid channel access scheme (HCAS), which intends to solve both problems by integrating opportunistic routing mechanism into inter- and intra-flow wireless network coding scheme in proper way. To utilize the inter-flow wireless network coding, multiple transmissions of flows should be allowed so that HCAS timely separate overall transmission stage as dissemination stage and collection stage. At the dissemination stage, each sender transmits their unicast packets to its neighbors, and then the neighbors of them retransmit what they have heard with wireless network coding at collection stage. The issues the HCAS mainly deal with and presents are as follow: i. Decision criteria of the flows to be encoded together with network coding at dissemination stage. ii. Efficient scheduling strategy of helpers for multiple receivers at the collection stage. HCAS chooses the flows which are generated in timely boundary within a broadcastable spatial range and draws greedy approach to retransmit them in with network coding. Through this approach, HCAS achieves a higher level of robustness and resource utilization.
