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 …

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 …

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 coding has recently been the focus of much practical as well as theoretical
research. In this paper, rateless codes are shown to find a natural application in channels …

Fountain codes are designed for erasure channels, and are particularly well suited for
broadcast applications from a single source to its one hop receivers. In this context, the …

Fountain codes are currently employed for reliable and efficient transmission of information
via erasure channels with unknown erasure rates. This correspondence introduces the …

We propose a systematic method to design irregular low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes
for binary erasure channels (BEC). Compared to the existing methods, which are based on …

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

We propose a family of systematic rateless codes that are universally capacity-approaching
on a binary erasure channel (BEC) regardless of the channel erasure rate. A significant …
