Packet loss degrades the quality of experience (QoE) of videoconferencing. The standard
approach to recovering lost packets for long-distance communication where retransmission …

Starting from Shannon's celebrated 1948 channel coding theorem, we trace the evolution of
channel coding from Hamming codes to capacity-approaching codes. We focus on the …

Network coding promises to significantly impact the way communications networks are
designed, operated, and understood. This book presents a unified and intuitive overview of …

Increased capacity, higher data rate, decreased latency, and better service quality are
examples of the primary objectives or needs that must be catered to in the near future, ie …

This monograph describes the theory behind Raptor codes, and elucidates elements of the
processes behind the design of two of the most prominent members of this class of codes …

This is a concise presentation of the concepts underlying the design of digital
communication systems, without the detail that can overwhelm students. Many examples …

We consider the use of random linear network coding in lossy packet networks. In particular,
we consider the following simple strategy: nodes store the packets that they receive and …

In a large-scale and distributed matrix multiplication problem $ C= A^{\intercal} B $, where $
C\in\mathbb {R}^{r\times t} $, the coded computation plays an important role to effectively …

Low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes have attracted much attention over the past two
decades since they can asymptotically approach the Shannon capacity in a variety of data …

Machine-to-machine (M2M) constitutes the communication paradigm at the basis of Internet
of Things vision. M2M solutions allow billions of multi-role devices to communicate with each …
