  • Abstract
    We propose a framework for communication over fading channels utilizing rateless codes. An implementation using fountain codes is simulated, demonstrating that such a scheme has advantages in efficiency, reliability and robustness over conventional fixed-rate codes, particularly when channel state information is not available at the transmitter.
