In order to solve the problem of transmission efficiency and flow control by sliding window mechanism in Mobile Ad Hoc Network(MANET)
a Variable Length Sliding Window Network Coding(VLSWNC) algorithm is proposed in this paper. The performance of this VLSWNC is studied using NS2 and evaluated in terms of the data throughput
packet transmission rate
and decoding delay when packet is transmitted. Simulations results show that the VLSWNC algorithm can significantly improve the network performance and reliability.
