S-IDNC Project

This project implements a Simple Instantly Decodable Network Coding (S-IDNC) system. It simulates the transmission of packets between a sender and multiple receivers, using network coding techniques to improve efficiency and reliability.

Features

• Packet Creation: Generates a set of packets from source data.
• Receiver Simulation: Simulates multiple receivers with the ability to track received packets.
• Network Coding: Implements S-IDNC to encode and transmit packets efficiently.
• Error Simulation: Simulates packet loss during transmission.

Project Structure

• main.c: The main entry point of the program, orchestrating the packet transmission and reception.
• Sender.c/h: Contains functions related to packet creation and encoding.
• Receiver.c/h: Contains functions and structures for simulating receivers.
• Symbol.c/h: Defines the data structures and functions for handling symbols and packets.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• A C compiler (e.g., GCC)
• CMake for building the project

Building the Project

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/yourusername/s-idnc.git
   cd s-idnc

2. Build the project using CMake:

   mkdir build
   cd build
   cmake ..
   make

Running the Program

After building, you can run the program using:

./s-idnc

Configuration

• Number of Packets: The number of packets per group is fixed at 32.
• Number of Receivers: The default is set to 10, but can be adjusted in main.c.

Contributing

Contributions are welcome! Please fork the repository and submit a pull request for any improvements or bug fixes.
