An introduction to Fountain codes

Dr. Francisco Lazaro

Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt (DLR)

Abstract:

Fountain codes were originially conceived as an efficient solution to the reliable multicasting problem. A rateless in an embodiment of fountain code accepts k input symbols (bits) at its input and can generate an unlimited amount of coded symbols (redundancy bits). In this lecture we will cover the two best known constructions of rateless codes, LT and Raptor codes. We will consider both iterative (peeling) decoding and maximum likelihood decoding.
