Preferred Abstract (Original): 
Broadcast and multicast operations which disseminate information network wide are important features in multi-hop wireless networks. This work shows how network coding can be applied in wireless in ad hoc networks. We focus on broadcast traffic and design a network coding-based scheme that we compare against simpler solutions, through extensive simulations. Our goal is to assess the performance of the proposed network coding scheme in wireless ad hoc networks in both realistic MAC and physical are considered and when mobility of nodes is considered as well. The performance analysis of the proposed network coding scheme on broadcasting traffic is strongly depends on the network node density and the generation size. Network coding brings no benefits to be implemented and run in sparse networks. On the other hand, network coding performs well and has significant gains in terms of end-to-end packet loss probability in dense networks. Moreover, achieved results show that the protocol delivers broadcast data reliably with minimal network overhead, by eliminating redundant data transmissions, even under adverse network conditions.
