Ad Hoc Networks Volume 16, May 2014, Pages 131–141 Kyu-Hwan Lee, Sunghyun Cho, Jae-Hyun Kim AbstractWe evaluate the practical network coding (NC) gain in a wireless ad hoc networks.First, we introduce how network coding can be applied to IEEE 802.11ad hoc networks. Next, we find obstructive factors by which the NC gainmay decrease as compared with the theoretical NC gain. Finally, throughthe performance evaluation, we analyze why a performance difference occursbetween practical and ...
