In practice, since many communication networks are huge in scale or complicated in structure even dynamic, the predesigned network codes based on the network topology is impossible even if the topological structure is known. Therefore,…

While network coding can be an efficient means of information dissemination in networks, it is highly susceptible to "pollution attacks," as the injection of even a single erroneous packet has the potential to corrupt each and every packet…

In any communication network, the maximum number of link-disjoint paths between any pair of communicating nodes, S and T, is limited by the S-T minimum link-cut. Multipath routing protocols have been proposed in the literature to make use…
