Fountain Code Design for the Y-Network
Reza Rafie Borujeny, Masoud Ardakani · IEEE Communications Letters · 2015
This paper describes a novel approach for designing distributed fountain codes based on polynomial factorization. The proposed approach is used for the well known Y-network configuration. The suggested factorization approach is applicable to LT codes and Raptor codes or any other fountain code describable with a degree distribution. Simulation results verify the success of this technique.
