A reliable delivery protocol for wireless networks, where a source node applies network forward error correction coding such that no transmission is ever repeated, instead all retransmissions and relay transmissions use coded packets further out in the coding sequence so that intermediate and destination nodes can make maximal use of overheard transmissions.
