Over the past years, we have witnessed an explosive growth in the use of multimedia applications such as audio and\nvideo streaming with mobile and static devices. Multimedia streaming applications need new approaches to multimedia\ntransmissions to meet the growing volume demand and quality expectations of multimedia traffic. This paper studies\nnetwork coding which is a promising paradigm that has the potential to improve the performance of networks for multimedia\nstreaming applications in terms of packet delivery ratio (PDR), latency and jitter. This paper examines several\nnetwork coding protocols for ad hoc wireless mesh networks and compares their performance on multimedia streaming\napplications with optimized broadcast protocols, e.g., BCast, Simplified Multicast Forwarding (SMF), and Partial\nDominant Pruning (PDP). The results show that the performance increases significantly with the Random Linear Network\nCoding (RLNC) scheme.
