FEEDBACK-BASED BROADCAST NETWORK CODED PACKET TRANSMISSION

Abstract:

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a transmitter may perform a first encoding operation on source packets that generates a first set of network coding encoded packets and may broadcast the first set of network coding encoded packets for reception by a plurality of receivers. The transmitter may receive feedback information associated with the first set of network coding encoded packets, the feedback information indicating that a first subset of network coding encoded packets were received by at least one of the plurality of receivers, the feedback information further indicating that one or more receivers of the plurality of receivers did not successfully recover all of the plurality of source packets. The transmitter may broadcast a second set of network coding encoded packets that does not include any of the first subset of network coding encoded packets. Numerous other aspects are provided.
