Qualitative Communication Using Adaptive Network Coding with a Sliding Window - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18330142 titled 'Qualitative Communication Using Adaptive Network Coding with a Sliding Window
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a system and method for transmitting data packets in a network using adaptive network coding.
- The payload for data transmission is divided into multiple source chunks, each with a significance level.
- Adaptive network coding is performed on each source chunk based on its significance level, resulting in multiple coded chunks in different coding groups.
- The significance level of coded chunks in at least two coding groups is different, while each coding group contains at least one coded chunk with the same first significance level.
- A first coded data packet is generated, consisting of a header and a payload containing the coded chunks.
- The first coded data packet is transmitted to a destination node.
Original Abstract Submitted
A system and a method performed by a source node for communicating data packets in the network comprising dividing a payload for data transmission into a plurality of source chunks with each source chunk comprising a significance level; performing, according to the significance level of each of the plurality of source chunks, adaptive network coding on each source chunk to obtain a plurality of coded chunks in a plurality of coding groups, where a significance level of coded chunks in at least two of the plurality of the coding groups is different, and wherein each coding group of the plurality of coding groups comprises at least one coded chunk having the same first significance level; generating a first coded data packet comprising a header and a payload comprising the plurality of coded chunks; and transmitting the first coded data packet to a destination node.
