Fragouli C., Soljanin E. Network Coding Fundamentals

Из серии Foundations and Trends in Networking издательства NOWPress, 2007, -149 pp.Network coding is an elegant and novel technique introduced at the turn of the millennium to improve network throughput and performance. It is expected to be a critical technology for networks of the future. This tutorial addresses the first most natural questions one would ask about this new technique: how network coding works and what are its benefits, how network codes are designed and how much it costs to deploy networks implementing such codes, and finally, whether there are methods to deal with cycles and delay that are present in all real networks. A companion issue deals primarily with applications of network coding.The Main Theorem of Network Multicast
