BROADCASTING PACKETS USING NETWORK CODING WITH FEEDBACK

Abstract:

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A network node may identify a set of packets (e.g., from a packet pool) that are scheduled for broadcast to a plurality of user equipments (UEs) and transmit a set of network encoded packets based on the set of packets. The network node may receive feedback from one or more of the plurality of UEs, and the feedback may indicate successfully decoded packets by each of the one or more UEs. Based on the feedback, the network node may identify an updated set of packets and transmit the updated set. The transmitter may continue to update and transmit based on feedback until the feedback indicates that updated set of packets is empty.
