Improve the reliability of 6G vehicular communication through skip network coding by Zhang, Yuyang

“…In this paper, we propose a skip network coding (SNC) multipath transmission scheme that draws on the idea of interleaving, which groups and encodes discrete packets that meet the interleaving distance. SNC can decrease burst consecutive loss without packet reordering issues to improve transmission performance. …”
