Screen-camera links for Visible Light Communication (VLC) are diverse, as the link quality
varies according to many factors, such as ambient light and camera's performance. This …

Online fountain codes (OFCs) have many advantages, such as low overhead, online
feedback and optimal encoding, due to the feedback of the instantaneous decoding state …

An online fountain code is defined as a fountain code for which an optimal encoding strategy
can be found efficiently given any instantaneous decoding state. This property is important …

In this letter, we study wireless broadcast schemes based on online fountain codes. We first
propose and analyze an online fountain code based-broadcast scheme, where the coded …

Broadcasting is a critical feature in V2X communication, allowing for the simultaneous
dissemination of safety-critical messages to all nearby vehicles. However, the requirement …

In this paper, we cope with the reliable and efficient data transfer problem in aeronautical ad
hoc networks (AANETs). AANETs are different from terrestrial ad hoc networks and these …

In this paper, a new class of online fountain codes is proposed to provide high intermediate
symbol recovery rates (ISRRs) with low overhead. The encoder consists of two phases. In …

The online property of fountain codes enables the encoder to efficiently find the optimal
encoding strategy that minimizes the encoding overhead based on the instantaneous …

One key requirement for fountain (rateless) coding schemes is to achieve a high
intermediate symbol recovery rate. Recent coding schemes have incorporated the use of a …

In this article, a novel class of fountain codes with feedback, called relative-entropy-based
fountain (REF) codes, is proposed. The transmitter of REF codes adapts the degrees of …
