A dissertation submitted to the Faculty of Engineering and the Built Environment, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Engineering, 2016 / The design and implementation of network coding into a location based ad-
dressing algorithm for VANET has been investigated. Theoretical analysis of
the network coding algorithm has been done by using a simplified topology
called the ladder topology. The theoretical models were shown to describe
the way that network coding and standard location based addressing works
over the VANET network. All tests were performed over simulation. Network
coding was shown to improve performance by a factor of 1.5 to 2 times in
both simulation and theoretical models. The theoretical models demonstrate
a fundamental limit to how much network coding can improve performance
by, and these were confirmed by the simulations. Network coding does have
a susceptibility to interference, but the other benefits of the techniques are
substantial despite this. Network coding demonstrates strong possibilities
for future development for VANET protocols. The ladder topology is an
important tool for future analysis. / GS
