A Cloud-Assisted Random Linear Network Coding Medium Access Control Protocol for Healthcare Applications

Relay sensor networks are often employed in end-to-end healthcare applications to facilitate the information flow between patient worn sensors and the medical data center. Medium access control (MAC) protocols, based on random linear network coding (RLNC), are a novel and suitable approach to effici...
