Rateless Codes with Progressive Recovery for Layered Multimedia Delivery
This paper proposes a novel approach, based on unequal error protection, to
enhance rateless codes with progressive recovery for layered multimedia
delivery. With a parallel encoding structure, the proposed Progressive Rateless
codes (PRC) assign unequal redundancy to each layer in accordance with their
importance. Each output symbol contains information from all layers, and thus
the stream layers can be recovered progressively at the expected received
ratios of output symbols. Furthermore, the dependency between layers is
naturally considered. The performance of the PRC is evaluated and compared with
some related UEP approaches. Results show that our PRC approach provides better
recovery performance with lower overhead both theoretically and numerically
Expanding window fountain codes for unequal error protection
A novel approach to provide unequal error protection (UEP) using rateless codes over erasure channels, named Expanding Window Fountain (EWF) codes, is developed and discussed. EWF codes use a windowing technique rather than a weighted (non-uniform) selection of input symbols to achieve UEP property. The windowing approach introduces additional parameters in the UEP rateless code design, making it more general and flexible than the weighted approach. Furthermore, the windowing approach provides better performance of UEP scheme, which is confirmed both theoretically and experimentally. © 2009 IEEE

Random Linear Network Coding for 5G Mobile Video Delivery
An exponential increase in mobile video delivery will continue with the
demand for higher resolution, multi-view and large-scale multicast video
services. Novel fifth generation (5G) 3GPP New Radio (NR) standard will bring a
number of new opportunities for optimizing video delivery across both 5G core
and radio access networks. One of the promising approaches for video quality
adaptation, throughput enhancement and erasure protection is the use of
packet-level random linear network coding (RLNC). In this review paper, we
discuss the integration of RLNC into the 5G NR standard, building upon the
ideas and opportunities identified in 4G LTE. We explicitly identify and
discuss in detail novel 5G NR features that provide support for RLNC-based
video delivery in 5G, thus pointing out to the promising avenues for future
research.Comment: Invited paper for Special Issue "Network and Rateless Coding for

Verification-Based Decoding for Rateless Codes in the Presence of Errors and Erasures
In this paper, verification-based decoding is proposed for the correction and filling-in of lost/erased packets for multicast service in data networks, which employs Rateless codes. Patterns of preferred parity-check equations are presented for the reduction of the average number of parity-check symbols required. Since the locations of unverified symbols are known, the effect of erasures and errors is the same in terms of the overhead required for successful decoding. Simulation results show that for an error-only, an erasure-only or a combination of both at 10% error/erasure probability, 78% of the messages can be recovered with a 50% overhead, whereas 99% of the messages can be recovered with a 100% overhead
