Abstract

A method of encoding data for transmission from a source to a destination over a communications channel is provided. A plurality of redundant symbols are generated from an ordered set of input symbols to be transmitted. A plurality of output symbols are generated from a combined set of symbols including the input symbols and the redundant symbols, wherein the number of possible output symbols is much larger than the number of symbols in the combined set of symbols, wherein at least one output symbol is generated from more than one symbol in the combined set of symbols and from less than all of the symbols in the combined set of symbols, and such that the ordered set of input symbols can be regenerated to a desired degree of accuracy from any predetermined number, N, of the output symbols.

Communications system

A communications system or communication system is a collection of individual telecommunications networks systems, relay stations, tributary stations, and terminal equipment usually capable of interconnection and interoperation to form an integrated whole. The components of a communications system serve a common purpose, are technically compatible, use common procedures, respond to controls, and operate in union. Telecommunications is a method of communication (e.g., for sports broadcasting, mass media, journalism, etc.

Partially ordered set

In mathematics, especially order theory, a partial order on a set is an arrangement such that, for certain pairs of elements, one precedes the other. The word partial is used to indicate that not every pair of elements needs to be comparable; that is, there may be pairs for which neither element precedes the other. Partial orders thus generalize total orders, in which every pair is comparable. Formally, a partial order is a homogeneous binary relation that is reflexive, transitive and antisymmetric.

Symbol table

In computer science, a symbol table is a data structure used by a language translator such as a compiler or interpreter, where each identifier (or symbol), constant, procedure and function in a program's source code is associated with information relating to its declaration or appearance in the source. In other words, the entries of a symbol table store the information related to the entry's corresponding symbol. A symbol table may only exist in memory during the translation process, or it may be embedded in the output of the translation, such as in an ABI for later use.

Idempotents in the endomorphism algebra of a finite lattice

We give a direct construction of a specific central idempotent in the endomorphism algebra of a finite lattice T. This idempotent is associated with all possible sublattices of T which are totally ordered. A generalization is considered in a conjectural fa ...

Packing the Boolean lattice with copies of a poset

Istvan Tomon

The Boolean lattice (2[n],subset of) is the family of all subsets of [n]={1,MIDLINE HORIZONTAL ELLIPSIS,n}, ordered by inclusion. Let P be a partially ordered set. We prove that if n is sufficiently large, then there exists a packing P of copies of P in (2 ...
