EFFICIENT, FAULT-TOLERANT MULTICAST NETWORKS VIA NETWORK CODING

摘要

Fault-tolerant multicast networks via network codingcom-prises a digital signal operator that combines data signals multicast frommultiple sources and transmits the combined data signal via a link to thenext or destination node. In one aspect, the digital signal operator includesan exclusive-OR operator that performs a Boolean exclusive-OR functionon the received bit streams of the multicast data from the plurality ofsources.
