Network-Coding-Based Energy-Efficient Data Fusion and Transmission for Wireless Sensor Networks with Heterogeneous Receivers

This paper proposes a multirate network coding scheme to improve the energy efficiency of wireless sensor networks (WSNs). Firstly, a five-layer network model is introduced, in which a perfect solution can always be achieved. Then, a network topology which belongs to the five-layer network model wil...
