On the Practical Performance of Rateless Codes
نویسندگان
چکیده
We propose a new parameter for optimizing the performance of rateless codes by minimizing latency and data overhead. We call it Latency-Overhead Product (LOP). It is based on ideas used in the analysis of digital circuits. We demonstrate the effectiveness of the LOP parameter for a specific class of rateless codes called Online codes (OC). We give results from experiments in ideal channel and simulated wireless channel with losses. In the second part of our experiments we analyze the relationship between the message block size and the performance of rateless codes. With the results from these experiments we extend the results from the performance of Luby Transform (LT) codes published in (Vukobratovic and Despotovic, 2005) by adding figures for Online codes.

Rateless Coding over Wireless Relay Networks Using Amplify/Decode and Forward Relays
In this paper two different rateless transmissionschemes are developed. In the proposed scheme, relay node candecode and forward the message to the destination if they areable to decode it, or amplify and forward the message to thedestination. Based on the analysis and simulation resultsprovided in this paper, the proposed method has bettertransmission time than the scheme which only the relay ...
متن کاملPrecoded EWF codes for unequal error protection of scalable video
Rateless codes are forward error correcting (FEC) codes of linear encoding-decoding complexity and asymptotically capacity-approaching performance over erasure channels with any erasure statistics. They have been recently recognized as a simple and efficient solution for packetized video transmission over networks with packet erasures. However, to adapt the error correcting capabilities of rate...
متن کاملIntegrating Spinal Codes into Wireless Systems
Rateless spinal codes [47] promise performance gains for future wireless systems. These gains can be realized in the form of higher data rates, longer operational ranges, reduced power consumption, and greater reliability. This is due in part to the manner in which rateless codes exploit the instantaneous characteristics of the wireless medium, including unpredictable fluctuations. By contrast,...

Over the past decade, rateless codes, i.e., digital fountain codes, have emerged as an efficient and robust solution for reliable data transmission over packet erasure networks and a particularly suitable one for multicasting and broadcasting applications where users may experience variable channel conditions and packet loss rates, such as mobile environments. Luby Transform (LT) and Raptor cod...
متن کاملPerformance of Rateless Codes under Spatial Coupling
Spatial coupling of individual LDPC codes improves the BP threshold of the coupled ensemble to the MAP threshold of the underlying ensemble. In this report, we investigate the performance of spatial coupling on LDGM codes which might lead to constructing a new class of rateless codes. In what follows, we study Raptor codes as a class of rateless codes and investigate spatial coupling on LDPC en...
