10-10 Rateless Non-Binary LDPC Codes for Broadcasting

Abstract

We study rateless codes transmitted over the binary-input erasure channel. In this paper, we introduce a novel rateless coding scheme with non-binary LDPC (Low-Density Parity-Check) codes. The decoding complexity of the proposed rateless code does not depend on the channel. Numerical experiments show that the proposed codes exhibit better performance than conventional rateless codes, especially for small number or information bits.
