Network Coding: From Principles to Practice

Network Coding: From Principles to Practice explains the fundamentals of network coding from a practical perspective, helping engineers in industry and researchers in academia wanting to deploy network coding in their simulations and real-life applications. The book takes a practical, problem-based learning approach to network coding using guided software simulations. With this book the reader will:

Understand the fundamental principles behind network coding

Learn how to implement a network coding software library

Use a network coding library to test the fundamental principles

Be able to produce code that can quickly be adapted for their specific research

Understand the reasoning of more advanced and latest-researched network coding topics such as reliable distributed storage, partial packet recovery, etc.

Network Coding: From Principles to Practice is suitable for Undergraduates, post-graduates, academic researchers and engineers in industry who want to understand and implement the fundamental principles of network coding.
