© 2018 IEEE.Rapid recovery from link failures was previously demonstrated via the synergistic combination of Diversity and Network Coding (DC-NC) for a wide variety of network architectures. In this paper, the DC-NC methodology is further enhanced to achieve near-instant recovery from multiple, simultaneous wireless link failures by modifying Triangular Network Coding (TNC) to create enhanced DC-NC (eDC-NC) that is applied to 5G wireless Fog computing based Radio Access Networks (F-RANs). In addition, an explicit algorithm for the eDC-NC decoding process is provided. Our results demonstrate that applying eDC-NC coding to a F-RAN fronthaul network will provide ultra-reliability, enable near-instantaneous fault recovery, and enhance the throughput by at least 20% (for three broadcasted data streams).
