Network Coding and Reliable Communications

Professor Médard’s group works extensively on various areas at the intersection of information theory and networking, in collaboration with other faculty at RLE, as well as at CSAIL, MTL, LIDS, Caltech, the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (UIUC), Stanford, the University of Porto, the University of Aalborg, the University of Waterloo, Northeaster University and the Technical University of Munich (TUM). In addition, Professor Médard has ongoing research programs and collaborations with Orange/France Telecom, Alcatel/Lucent and Technicolor. Network coding provides cost benefits in a variety of settings, for instance, wireless networks, where the cost may be measured in expended energy, or wireline networks, where they reduce congestion.
