This additional capacity may be used to increase throughput or reliability. Also in wireless networks, network coding has been proposed as a method for improving communication. We present our experience from two studies of applying network coding in realistic wireless sensor networks scenarios. As we show, network coding is not as useful in practical deployments as earlier theoretical work suggested. We discuss limitations and future opportunities for network coding in sensor networks.enTechnology::600: TechnologyConference Paperhttps://www.diva-portal.org/smash/record.jsf?pid=diva2%3A1043105Conference Paper
