Jamming-resistant communication is crucial for safety-critical applications such as
emergency alert broadcasts or the dissemination of navigation signals in adversarial …

Fountain coding principle introduced by Byers et al. in 1998 describes an efficient way to
transfer information over erasure channels. In this paper, we focus on a particular class of …

In this paper, we analyze Luby transform (LT) and Raptor codes under inactivation
decoding. A first-order analysis is introduced, which provides the expected number of …

In this paper we survey the various erasure codes which had been proposed and patented
recently, and along the survey we provide introductory tutorial on many of the essential …

Described are fountain code constructs that solve multiple problems in distributed storage
systems by providing sys tematic encoding, reduced repair locality, reduced encoding …

In this letter, we propose a scheme to modify robust Soliton distribution (RSD) with respect to
the expected ripple size. We only adjust the proportion of degree 1, degree 2 and the …

Wireless broadcast has been increasingly used to deliver information of common interest to
a large number of users. There are two major challenges in wireless broadcast: the …

Luby transform (LT) codes provide efficient erasure protection for information distributed
across a multiuser channel with unknown characteristics. For real-time applications …

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 …

Luby Transform code (LT code) has been a popular and practical technique in the field of
channel coding since its proposal. One of the key components of LT code is a degree …
