ComboCoding: Combined intra-/inter-flow network coding for TCP over disruptive MANETs
TCP over wireless networks is challenging due to random losses and ACK interference. Although network coding schemes have been proposed to improve TCP robustness against extreme random losses, a critical problem still remains of DATA–ACK interference. To address this issue, we use inter-flow coding between DATA and ACK to reduce the number of transmissions among nodes. In addition, we also utilize a ‘‘pipeline’’ random linear coding scheme with adaptive redundancy to overcome high packet loss ov
