— A rateless code—i.e., a rate-compatible family of codes—has the property that codewords of the higher rate codes are prefixes of those of the lower rate ones. A perfect fa...
Abstract—Rateless coding ensures reliability by providing everincreasing redundancy, traditionally at the packet level (i.e. the application layer) through erasure coding. This p...
Abstract— We consider communication over the Gaussian multiple access channel (MAC) with unknown set of active users. The proposed multiple access strategy is distributed and ach...

The problem of coding for channels with time-varying state is studied. Two different models are considered: one in which the channel state cannot depend on the transmitted signal,...
— Systematic Luby Transform (SLT) codes constitute rateless codes, which are capable of adaptively adjusting their code rate depending on the channel quality without any explicit...
