Wireless networks suffer from a variety of unique problems
such as low throughput, dead spots, and inadequate support
for mobility. However, their characteristics such as the broadcast
nature of the medium, spatial diversity, and significant data redundancy,
provide opportunities for new design principles to address
these problems. There has been recent interest in employing network
coding in wireless networks. This paper explores the case for network
coding as a unifying design paradigm for wireless networks, by
describing how it addresses issues of througput, reliability, mobility,
and management. We also discuss the practical challenges facing the
integration of such a design into the network stack.
