Secure Data Delivery with Linear Network Coding for Multiple Multicasts with Multiple Streams in Internet of Things

Table 3

The meanings of objectives and constraints.

Constraint Meaning

Objective(2) Maximize the total SWT

Constraint(3) The transmission rate of any data stream transmitted in the network must be greater than 0

Constraints(4)–(7) In network topology, nodes need to follow the network flow constraints

Constraint(8) For multicast , the actual flow rate passing through any link in the network is no less than the flow rate passing through the link to any destination node because the coded data packets can be useful for all the destinations in with LNC

Constraint(9) The data flow of multicast passing through any malicious node in the network should meet the requirements of WS

Constraint(10) The sum of all data flows passing through the link should be no greater than the bandwidth capacity of the link

Constraints(11)–(13) Ranges of variables
