When multiple source node nodes need to transmit their data packets through a single relay to a common destination, distributed rateless codes can be employed. In this paper, a new kind of completely random rateless codes and its distributed encoding process is proposed based on random matrices theory. The proposed method is very easy to implement. The decoding performance is determined by the rank property of random matrices. Both theoretical analysis and simulation results show that the proposed method is effective.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
