About this book

Understand the fundamentals of network coding from an engineering perspective with this accessible guide

Network 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 readers
  • Follows a semester-long course curriculum structure, making it suitable for direct adaptation for academic purposes
  • Detailed discussion of future applications in technology areas including post-quantum cryptography, 6G, and more
  • Design principles for different network models, such as multi-path and mesh networks

Network Coding for Engineers is ideal for electrical engineering and computer science students, particularly those studying advanced networking and communications and related subjects.
