—Multirate multicast is a powerful methodology of multimedia communication in heterogenous networks. A variant of multirate multicast motivated by scalable multimedia streaming i...
Abstract— We consider a wireless broadcast station that transmits packets to multiple users. The packet requests for each user may overlap, and some users may already have certai...
Network coding has been recently proposed in information theory as a new dimension of the information multicast problem that helps achieve optimal transmission rate or cost. End ho...
We introduce the (private) entropy of a directed graph (in a new network coding sense) as well as a number of related concepts. We show that the entropy of a directed graph is ide...
This paper proposes LTNC, a new recoding algorithm to build low complexity network codes. At the core of LTNC is a decentralized version of LT codes that allows the use of fast be...
