MULTICAST NETWORK CODING

Abstract:

Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for efficiently transmitting data over multiple radio access technologies (RATs), for example, between a base station and a user equipment (UE). An example method by a receiver device generally includes receiving network coded packets from multiple transmitter devices, decoding the network coded packets, based on a network coding decoding scheme, to recover one or more source packets, generating feedback based on the decoding, and transmitting the feedback to the multiple transmitter devices.
