abstract   bibtex   
Energy efficiency, i.e., the amount of battery energy consumed to transmit bits across a wireless link, is a critical design parameter for wireless ad-hoc networks. This paper examines the problem of broadcasting information to all nodes in an ad-hoc network, when a large percentage of the nodes act as sources. For this application, we theoretically quantify the energy savings that network coding can offer in the cases of a line network and a rectangular grid network. We then propose low-complexity distributed algorithms, and demonstrate through simulation that in practice, for random networks, network coding can in fact offer significant benefits in terms of energy consumption.
