Abstract

The concept of network coding has greatly evolved since its inception. Theoretical and achievable performance have been obtained for a wide variety of networking assumptions and performance objectives. Even if powerful, such a broad applicability poses a challenge to a unified design approach over different communication networks and systems.

In this work, we propose a (non-reductionist) unified network coding design architectural framework where an ontology of abstraction domains is introduced rather than layer/system/network-specific assumptions and designs. The framework brings together network and system design and seems compatible with upcoming (more general) design frameworks such as software-defined networking, cognitive networking or network virtualization. We illustrate its applicability showing the case of network coding design over DVB-S2X/RCS.
