Source and channel coding using Fountain codes

The invention of Fountain codes is a major advance in the field of error correcting codes. The goal of this work is to study and develop algorithms for source and channel coding using a family of Fountain codes known as Raptor codes. From an asymptotic poi ...

Fountain codes for piecewise stationary channels

Bertrand Ndzana Ndzana, Mohammad Amin Shokrollahi

In this paper, two fixed per-information symbol complexity lossless source coding algorithms are modified for estimation and incremental LT decoding over piecewise stationary memoryless channels (PSMC's) with a bounded number of abrupt changes in channel s ...

Fountain Codes for the Slepian-Wolf Problem

Bertrand Ndzana Ndzana, Mohammad Amin Shokrollahi

In this paper, we describe one solution to the two-user Slepian-Wolf problem in a certain part of the achievable region using fountain codes. Symmetric case of memoryless compression of two correlated sources is considered and modeled by a BSC channel. The ...

Burrows-Wheeler text compression with fountain codes

Bertrand Ndzana Ndzana, Mohammad Amin Shokrollahi

This paper presents an algorithm in a purely lossless text compression setting based on fountain codes and the Burrows-Wheeler transform (BWT). The scheme consists of five stages, each of which is briefly described in the paper. The algorithm offers encour ...
