Abstract:

The encoding/decoding performance of fountain codes is closely related to its degree distribution. The performance of the fountain codes based on the combined degree distribution is obviously better than that of the fountain codes based on the single degree distribution. However, the current combined degree distribution is mostly a simple combination of degree distribution. The fluctuation of the output ripple size can represent the performance of the fountain codes. The optimization algorithm based on the characteristics of the output ripple size is proposed. It is designed to get an optimal ratio of poisson distribution (PD) and robust soliton distribution (RSD), so that a new degree distribution is obtained. The simulation results show that compared with RSD, the optimized degree distribution can effectively improve the performance of fountain codes.

Key words: fountain codes, Luby transform (LT) codes, combined degree distribution, ripple size
