Network Coding for resource-efficient operation of mobile clouds: The mobile communication architecture is changing dramatically, from formerly fully centralized systems, the mobile devices are getting connected among each other forming so called mobile clouds. One of the key technologies for mobile clouds is network coding. Network coding changes the way how mobile communication systems will be designed in the future. In contrast to source or channel coding, network coding is not end to end oriented, but allows on the fly recoding. The talk will advocate the need of network coding for mobile clouds.
