Abstract

Network coding is a proposed technique for improving network capacity. This novel concept has been mainly oriented to increase throughput and reliability of communication networks. Network coding is implemented in the intermediate nodes before forwarding the encoded packets to the end nodes. The received packets are decoded in the end nodes in order to recovery the original transmitted data (video data in our case). In this work, we investigate the performance of network coding in collaborative multi-source scenarios with heterogeneous resources (video, image, audio, pdf files). Collaborative multi-source schemes are very important for critical multimedia services because multimedia content consumes an important amount of resources in the communication networks. A multi-source scheme is a useful solution when different parts of a multimedia content is generated or stored in two or more sites. Our evaluation compares the performance of a P2P networking with network coding against a client-server communications. Results show great benefits on using network coding scheme in collaborative multi-source scheme.
