Network coding that consists in encoding packets in routers before forwarding them was introduced in 2000. This technique is very useful in cases where the information could meet together such as multicast traffic, shared radio interfaces, etc. In those cases, network coding outperforms the regular store and forward.

Our work consists in proposing network coding based new algorithms for ad hoc networks. Two different schemes will be explained: one simple and opportunistic and another based on fountain codes. The idea is to combine the OLSR-MPR (dominating set) and network coding to increase the network capacity.

Khaldoun Al Agha, Senior IEEE, is a full professor at Paris XI University. He is leading the networking group at LRI (Laboratoire de Recherche en Informatique) and is a member of the Hipercom project that regroups researchers from INRIA, LRI and Ecole Polytechnique. He is also the director of the Master Degree (Research Option) of Computer Science at Paris XI University. He received his habilitation degree (2002) from Paris XI University, his PhD (1998) and his Master degree (1995) from Versailles University and his engineering degree (1993) from the Ecole Supérieure d’Electricité (1993).

Khaldoun Al Agha is an active member at ICT Labs (recently created by the European Commission to enhance education, research and innovation in ICT). He is leading the European activity “Digital Cities of the Furture”. He is also coordinating the French research activity in ICT labs.

Khaldoun Al Agha is the co-founder of the company Green Communications (www.green-communications.fr ). He was General and TPC chair for many conferences in networking and was producing special issues in Telecommunication System and Annals of Telecommunication Journals on ad hoc and home networking. His research interests are on resource allocation, quality of service, security, energy optimization, network coding for wireless and mobile networks. He is very active in the developing of quality of service schemes for ad hoc and sensor networks. He is leading many projects on those topics and published more than one hundred papers in journals and conferences.
