Analytic, first-principles performance modeling of distributed-memory applications is difficult due to a wide spectrum of random disturbances caused by the application and the system. These disturbances (commonly called "noise") destroy the…
We apply linear network coding (LNC) to broadcast a block of data packets from one sender to a set of receivers via lossy wireless channels, assuming each receiver already possesses a subset of these packets and wants the rest. We aim to…
