This paper presents a framework for efficiently streaming scalable video from multiple servers over heterogeneous network paths. We propose to use rateless codes, or Fountain codes, such that each server acts as an independent source, without the need to c ...
Fountain codes have been successfully employed for reliable and efficient transmission of information via erasure channels with unknown erasure rates. This paper introduces the notion of fountain capacity for arbitrary channels, and shows that it is equal ...
Network coding is an elegant and novel technique introduced at the turn of the millennium to improve network throughput and performance. It is expected to be a critical technology for networks of the future. This tutorial addresses the first most natural q ...
Recently, Shayevitz and Feder introduced an individual sequence formulation of channel coding under model uncertainty and an elegant coding strategy that adapts Horstein's scheme to this setting to achieve the empirical capacity of the channel. Their schem ...

LT-codes are a new class of codes introduced by Luby for the purpose of scalable and fault-tolerant distribution of data over computer networks. In this paper, we introduce Raptor codes, an extension of LT-codes with linear time encoding and decoding. We w ...
In this paper we describe some practical aspects of the design process of good Raptor codes for finite block lengths over arbitrary binary input symmetric channels. In particular we introduce a simple model for the finite-length convergence behavior of the ...
In this paper, we describe one solution to the two-user Slepian-Wolf problem in a certain part of the achievable region using fountain codes. Symmetric case of memoryless compression of two correlated sources is considered and modeled by a BSC channel. The ...
We present a new model for LT codes which simplifies the analysis of the error probability of decoding by belief propagation. For any given degree distribution, we provide the first rigorous expression for the limiting bit-error probability as the length o ...
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 that were proved before for the erasure channel. We will generalize the stab ...
A technique based on linear precoding is introduced for broadcasting on linear networks. The precoding allows the different message components of a broadcast message to be separated and decoded at the desired sink nodes, thus providing a systematic design ...
