Modern communications have moved away from point-to-point models toincreasingly heterogeneous network models. In this article, we propose a novelcontroller-based protocol to deploy adaptive causal network coding inheterogeneous and highly-meshed communication networks. Specifically, weconsider using Software-Defined-Network (SDN) as the main controller. We firstpresent an architecture for the highly-meshed heterogeneous multi-sourcemulti-destination networks that represents the practical communication networksencountered in the fifth generation of wireless networks (5G) and beyond. Next,we present a promising solution to deploy network coding over the newarchitecture. In fact, we investigate how to generalize adaptive and causalrandom linear network coding (AC-RLNC), proposed for multipath multi-hop(MP-MH) communication channels, to a protocol for the new multi-sourcemulti-destination network architecture using controller. To this end, wepresent a modularized implementation of AC-RLNC solution where the modules worktogether in a distributed fashion and perform the AC-RLNC technology. We alsopresent a new controller-based setting through which the network coding modulescan communicate and can attain their required information. Finally, we brieflydiscuss how the proposed architecture and network coding solution provide agood opportunity for future technologies, e.g., distributed coded computationand storage, mmWave communication environments, and innovative and efficientsecurity features.
