Joint Inter-flow Network Coding and Opportunistic Routing in Multi-hop Wireless Mesh Networks: A Comprehensive Survey.

Network coding and opportunistic routing are two recognized innovative ideas to improve the performance of wireless networks by utilizing the broadcast nature of the wireless medium. In the last decade, there has been considerable research on how to synergize inter-flow network coding and opportunistic routing in a single joint protocol outperforming each in any scenario. This paper explains the m...
