Network Coding Theorem

The Network Coding Theorem states that, by allowing network nodes to combine multiple data streams into a single, coded message, we can increase the overall efficiency and capacity of data transmission in a network. Instead of just relaying data unchanged, nodes can mix information before passing it on, enabling multiple messages to be sent simultaneously and maximizing the use of network bandwidth. This approach can achieve higher data rates and more reliable communication, especially important in complex networks like the internet or wireless systems.
