Coding Schemes for Integrated Transport and Storage Reliability
Sai Narasimhamurthy, J.Y.N. Hui · 2006
IP storage area networks are based on bulk data transfer over a binary erasure channel and associated bulk data storage in end systems, which are also subjected to erasures. The paper motivates a possibility of an integrated approach to transport and data storage reliability in storage area networks (SAN) which reduces the protocol processing complexities. The integrated transport/storage reliability is sought through the novel Ying-Yang code and the convolution code with new decoding techniques.
