To achieve reliable packet transmission over a wireless link without feedback, we propose a
layered coding approach that uses error-correction coding within each packet and erasure …

Rateless codes are recently-proposed erasure correction codes. To apply rateless codes
over wireless communication channels, a physical-layer forward error correction (FEC) …

Rateless coding ensures reliability by providing ever-increasing redundancy, traditionally at
the packet level (ie the application layer) through erasure coding. This paper explores …

For a block-fading channel, this paper optimizes the allocation of redundancy between
packet-level erasure coding (which provides additional packets to compensate for packet …

Channel coding has seen itself quickly emerge as a very promising technique in relatively
new territory: distributed networks, where computing, communication and storage are …

In this paper, we provide the performance analysis of unequal error protection (UEP)
random linear coding (RLC) strategies designed for transmission of source messages …

In this paper we propose an information theoretic framework for studying coding and
throughput optimization for multi-layered packet transmission systems. Our approach …

The throughput benefits of random linear network codes have been studied extensively for
wirelined and wireless erasure networks. It is often assumed that all nodes within a network …

In this paper, a special class of wireless networks, called wireless erasure networks, is
considered. In these networks, each node is connected to a set of nodes by possibly …

In this paper, tight bounds on the block error probability of linear block codes over order-q
finite fields for the q-ary erasure channel, under maximum-likelihood (ML) decoding, are …
