Forward error-correcting (FEC) coding and streaming

Mohammad Amin Shokrollahi

In a data decoder for decoding data from received symbols received over a channel from an encoder, a method for decoding data wherein the received data includes erasures and includes source symbols and repair symbols organized into one or more source block ...

Boosting Gossip for Live Streaming

Rachid Guerraoui, Anne-Marie Kermarrec, Maxime Monod, Davide Frey

Gossip protocols are considered very effective to disseminate information in a large scale dynamic distributed system. Their inherent simplicity makes them easy to implement and deploy. However, whereas their probabilistic guarantees are often enough to di ...

Performance of Rateless Codes under Spatial Coupling

Vahid Aref

Spatial coupling of individual LDPC codes improves the BP threshold of the coupled ensemble to the MAP threshold of the underlying ensemble. In this report, we investigate the performance of spatial coupling on LDGM codes which might lead to constructing a ...

Media coding for streaming in networks with source and path diversity

Pascal Frossard, Nikolaos Thomos

Novel network architectures such as overlay networks offer significant diversity that can compensate for the lack of strict quality of service in today's communication infrastructures. In order to take advantage of this diversity for delay-sensitive media ...

Polar codes for channel and source coding

Satish Babu Korada

The two central topics of information theory are the compression and the transmission of data. Shannon, in his seminal work, formalized both these problems and determined their fundamental limits. Since then the main goal of coding theory has been to find ...

Source and channel coding using Fountain codes

Bertrand Ndzana Ndzana

The invention of Fountain codes is a major advance in the field of error correcting codes. The goal of this work is to study and develop algorithms for source and channel coding using a family of Fountain codes known as Raptor codes. From an asymptotic poi ...

Channel Coding for Progressive Images in a 2-D Time-Frequency OFDM Block With Channel Estimation Errors

Laura Toni

Coding and diversity are very effective techniques for improving transmission reliability in a mobile wireless environ- ment. The use of diversity is particularly important for multimedia communications over fading channels. In this work, we study the tran ...

Forward Error Correction for Multipath Media Streaming

Pascal Frossard, Aleksandar Jovanovic, Dan Jurca

We address the problem of joint optimal rate allocation and scheduling between media source rate and error protection rate in scalable streaming applications over lossy multipath networks. Starting from a distortion representation of the received media inf ...

Lower Bounds on the Rate-Distortion Function of Individual LDGM Codes

Rüdiger Urbanke, Shrinivas Kudekar

We consider lossy compression of a binary symmetric source by means of a low-density generator-matrix code. We derive two lower bounds on the rate distortion function which are valid for any low-density generator-matrix code with a given node degree distri ...

Application Layer Forward Error Correction for Mobile Multimedia Broadcasting

Mohammad Amin Shokrollahi

Application Layer Forward Error Correction (AL-FEC) is an innovative way to provide reliability in mobile broadcast systems. Conventional data such as multimedia files or multimedia streams are extended with repair information which can be used to recover ...
