Underwater swarm robotics is an emerging topic. Compared to individual autonomous
vehicles, high-capacity communication links are required between the mobile agents. In this …

Information theory and inference, often taught separately, are here united in one entertaining
textbook. These topics lie at the heart of many exciting areas of contemporary science and …

Fountain codes are record-breaking sparse-graph codes for channels with erasures, such
as the internet, where files are transmitted in multiple small packets, each of which is either …

Network coding is a new research area that may have interesting applications in practical
networking systems. With network coding, intermediate nodes may send out packets that are …

This survey guides the reader through the extensive open literature that is covering the
family of low-density parity-check LDPC codes and their rateless relatives. In doing so, we …

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 …

The quality of peer-to-peer content distribution can suffer when malicious participants
intentionally corrupt content. Some systems using simple block-by-block downloading can …

The theory of network coding promises significant benefits in network performance,
especially in lossy networks and in multicast and multipath scenarios. To realize these …

In this paper, we will investigate the performance of Raptor codes on arbitrary binary input
memoryless symmetric channels (BIMSCs). In doing so, we generalize some of the results …

We consider the problem of establishing minimum-cost multicast connections over coded
packet networks, ie, packet networks where the contents of outgoing packets are arbitrary …
