Summary:Wireless content distribution is an important application of Peer-to-peer (P2P) techniques. With powerful tools like network coding on hand, it is possible to improve the performance of such content distributions. In this paper, we have proposed a cross-layer solution that seamlessly fuses routing information and P2P strategies. Basing peer-selection algorithms on a routing metric, we can select the best performing peers. Using routing layer's feedback to adjust offered load, the coding benefits can be maximized as well. The synergy between wireless P2P and network coding techniques is evaluated, justifying our cross-layer protocol stack.
