Dynamic Network Coding for Collaborative Multi-source System

Network coding is a promising technique in the field of Information Theory used to improve performance of communication networks. Several benefits related to energy savings or increase throughput have been reported in different areas when network coding is used. This paper presents a dynamic network coding approach for a collaborative multi-source system. Peer-to-peer paradigm is used to build our collaborative network between nodes in a dynamic way. Peers are synchronized by a coordinator server, which is responsible for assigning dynamic roles to the nodes that are inside the system during the network coding process. Coordinator server also must ensure that the network coding process is completed. Likewise, multiple sources are created to synchronize the nodes in terms of the contents shared by them.
