Abstract

In this paper, new fountain codes named LT-LR-DRS (Luby Transfer with Loss Rate and Decreasing Ripple Size) codes are proposed for wireless relay communications. The transmission is divided into two phases: at first phase, all original symbols are transmitted and some original symbols are lost during transmission; encoded symbols generated by LT-LR-DRS codes are transmitted at second phase to recover the lost symbols. In LT-LR-DRS, an innovative degree distribution instead of RSD (Robust Soliton degree Distribution) is proposed. The minimum degree of encoded symbols is decided by loss rate and the ripple size is decreased during decoding process. We show both analytically and through real experiments, that LT-LR-DRS codes have better performance in term of average overhead, complexity and memory usage compared to LT, SLT-LR (Shifted LT with Loss Rate), LT-DRS (LT with Decreasing Ripple Size) codes.
