1. A wireless communication network comprising:
- a source wireless station configured to generate and transmit a message;
a plurality of participating wireless stations configured to;
receive the message;
receive copies of the message from other participating wireless stations to form a corresponding vector set of signals;
generate a supplemental message from the corresponding vector set of signals using a distributed code generating function that produces a regenerated codeword;
transmit the supplemental message;
generate multiple supplemental messages each with a different distributed code generating function from the corresponding vector set of signals;
transmit the multiple supplemental signals; and
a destination wireless station configured to;
receive the message;
receive copies of the supplemental message from the plurality of participating wireless stations to form a vector set of signals;
receive the multiple supplemental messages from the plurality of participating wireless stations;
process the vector set of signals, copies of the supplemental message, and the multiple supplemental messages according to a joint-decoding function to recover the message.

4. A method comprising:
-
receiving at each of a plurality of participating wireless devices a copy of an original message transmitted by a source wireless device to a destination wireless device; at each participating wireless device, receiving signals based on the copy of the original message from other participating wireless devices to form a corresponding vector set of signals, generating a supplemental signal from the corresponding vector set of signals using a distributed code generating function that produces a regenerated codeword, transmitting the supplemental signal from each participating wireless device to the destination wireless device, generating multiple supplemental signals each with a different distributed code generating function from the corresponding vector set of signals, and transmitting the multiple supplemental signals from each participating wireless device to the destination wireless device; at the destination wireless device, receiving a copy of the original message transmitted by the source wireless device, receiving signals based on the copy of the original message from the participating wireless devices to form a vector set of signals, receiving copies of the supplemental signals transmitted by the participating wireless devices, and processing one or more of the supplemental signals, the vector set of signals, and the received copy of the original message according to a joint-decoding function to recover the original message. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7, 8, 9)
