Fountain codes are a new class of codes originally designed for robust and scalable
transmission of data over lossy computer networks. Binary Fountain codes such as Luby …

This paper introduces a Simulink model design for a modified fountain code. The code is a
new version of the traditional Luby transform (LT) codes. The design constructs the blocks …

Rateless erasure code is an error correction code that is able to encode a message of k
uncoded symbols into an infinite number of coded symbols. One may reconstruct the original …

It is well known that the performance of carrier sense multiple access with collision
avoidance (CSMA/CA) is poor when the number of users increases, because of collisions. In …

Error-prone patterns have been extensively studied for low-density parity-check codes, yet
they have never been fully explored for generator-based Fountain codes. In the previous …

This thesis investigates reliable multicast of bulk data in a resource-constrained mission-
critical radio access network (RCMCRAN). Traditionally, bulk data is sent over-the-air using …

The decoding efficiency deteriorates badly when the existing degree distributions are used
to encode the source packets with small size. In this paper, we present a new way to design …
