Impact of rateless codes on system delay and throughout for network-coded multi-source and multi-destination scenarios
Zheng Ma, Zhiguo Ding, Pingzhi Fan · 2012
Existing work has demonstrated that network coding can significantly reduce system delay in multi-source and multi-destination scenarios. However, such a scheme doesn't take consideration in terms of throughput In this paper, we propose to use rateless coding scheme to network-coded multi-source and multi-destination scenarios, which is a practical minimizing system delay and maximizing throughput approach. In particular, the analytical result based on outage probability has been developed. Numerical results have also been provided to show the delay and throughput performance of the proposed protocol.
