Abstract

This report documents the development of an analytical model of both throughput and power consumption in a wireless mesh network with the Alice and Bob topology. A MeasuringTool have also been designed to measure the actual power consumption in the network. The analysis shows that applying network coding saves energy for high load scenarios. This is validated with the MeasuringTool. The model derived and measurements achieved have demonstrate that network coding gives even benefits for the case of low load.
