1. A method for communicating batches of batched network coding (BNC) packets between network nodes of a multi-hop wireless network, the method comprising:
transmitting, under control of multi-phase recoding logic of a first network node of a communication link hop in the multi-hop wireless network, a plurality of packets as a first transmission phase of multiple phase transmission of a batch of the BNC packets;
receiving, under control of the multi-phase recoding logic, multi-phase recoding feedback from a second network node of the communication link hop;
determining, by the multi-phase recoding logic, a number of packets of the batch of BNC packets to transmit as a second transmission phase of the multiple phase transmission of the batch of the BNC packets based on the multi-phase recoding feedback; and
transmitting, under control of the multi-phase recoding logic, the number of packets as the second transmission phase of the multiple phase transmission of the batch of BNC packets.
