Abstract

Network coding, the notion of performing coding operations on the contents of packets while in transit through the network, was originally developed for wired networks; recently, however, it has been also applied with success also to mobile ad hoc networks (MANET). In this paper, we compare the performance of different protocols for ad hoc networks — Multipath routing based on fresnel zone routing (FZR), and Energy aware Node Disjoint Multipath Routing (ENDMR) protocol. Simulation results show that, with the proposed network coding in ad hoc network multipath routing protocol (NC-MR), packet delivery ratio, network lifetime and packet loss can be improved in most of cases. It is an available approach to multipath routing decision.
