When information is to be transmitted over an unknown, possibly unreliable channel, an erasure option at the decoder is desirable. Using constant-composition random codes, we propo...
—In this paper, we propose a novel transport protocol that effectively utilizes available bandwidth and diversity gains provided by heterogeneous, highly lossy paths. Our Multi-P...
In a typical burst-error correction application of a product code of nv nh arrays, one uses an [nh; nh rh] code Ch that detects corrupted rows, and an [nv; nv rv] code Cv that is...
—We propose an adaptive hybrid automatic repeat request–forward error correction (ARQ–FEC) erasure-correcting scheme for quality of service (QoS)-driven mobile multicast serv...
Abstract--We consider sources and channels with memory observed through erasure channels. In particular, we examine the impact of sporadic erasures on the fundamental limits of los...
