Book Description
Understand the fundamentals of network coding from an engineering perspective with this accessible guideNetwork Coding is a method of increasing network throughput and efficiency by encoding and decoding transmitted data packets instead of simply forwarding them. It was mainly a body of information theory until the rise of random linear networking coding (RLNC), a method ideally suited to wireless networks and other cooperative environments. The ease of introducing network coding to legacy systems and the resulting gains in efficiency have made this a widely applied technology with the potential to revolutionize networked communications. Network Coding for Engineers introduces the fundamentals of this exciting subject from an engineering perspective. Beginning with the basics, including step-by-step details for implementing network coding and current applications, it also highlights potential uses of network coding in the communications technologies of the future. The result is an innovative and accessible introduction to a subject quickly becoming indispensable. Network Coding for Engineers readers will also find:A structure that facilitates gradual deepening of knowledge, ideal for students and new readersFollows a semester-long course curriculum structure, making it suitable for direct adaptation for academic purposesDetailed discussion of future applications in technology areas including post-quantum cryptography, 6G, and moreDesign principles for different network models, such as multi-path and mesh networksNetwork Coding for Engineers is ideal for electrical engineering and computer science students, particularly those studying advanced networking and communications and related subjects.
