Capacity-achieving sequences for the erasure channel
Abstract-- This paper starts a systematic study of capacityachieving sequences of low-density parity-check codes for the erasure channel. We introduce a class Aof analytic function...

Graph Operations and Zipfian Degree Distributions
The probability distribution on a set S = { 1, 2, . . . , n } defined by Pr(k) = 1/(Hnk), where Hn in the nth harmonic number, is commonly called a Zipfian distribution. In this no...

Intermediate Performance of Rateless Codes
Abstract-- Fountain codes are designed so that all input symbols can be recovered from a slightly larger number of coded symbols, with high probability using an iterative decoder. ...

Rateless Codes with Optimum Intermediate Performance
—In this paper, we design several degree distributions for rateless codes with optimum intermediate packet recovery rates. In rateless coding, the employed degree distribution si...

A Class of LDPC Erasure Distributions with Closed-Form Threshold Expression
— In this paper, a family of low-density parity-check (LDPC) degree distributions, whose decoding threshold on the binary erasure channel (BEC) admits a simple closed form, is pr...
