Ideal solitondistribution [6] • Works poor • Due to the randomness in the encoding process, • Ripple would disappear at some point, and the whole decoding process failed. [6] M. Luby, “LT codes”, Proc. Annu. Symp. Found. Comput. Sci. (Vancouver, Canada), 2002, pp. 271-282.
Robust solitondistribution [6] Maximum failure probability of the decoder when encoded symbols are received Degree distribution of Ideal Soliton Distribution [6] M. Luby, “LT codes”, Proc. Annu. Symp. Found. Comput. Sci. (Vancouver, Canada), 2002, pp. 271-282.
Suboptimal degree distribution • Optimal degree distribution is proposed[12] • When k is large, the coefficient matrix of optimal degree distribution is too sick. • No solution. • Suboptimal degree distribution: [12] Zhu H P, Zhang G X, Xie Z D, "Suboptimal degree distribution of LT codes". Journal of Applied Sciences-Electronics and Information Engineering. Jan 2009, Vol. 27, No. 1, pp. 6-11. R is initial ripple size E is the expected number of encoded symbols required to recovery the input symbols.
Scale-free Luby distribution [13] • Based on modified power-law distribution • Presenting that scale-free property have a higher chance to be decoded correctly. • A large number of nodes with low degree • A little number of nodes with high degree P1: the fraction of encoded symbols with degree-1 r : the characteristic exponent A: the normalizing coefficient to ensure [13] Yuli Zhao, Francis C. M. Lau, "Scale-free Luby transform codes", International Journal of Bifurcation and Chaos, Vol. 22, No. 4, 2012.
Analysis of LT codes • The encoding/decoding efficiency is evaluated by the average degree of encoded symbols. • Less average degree • Fewer times of XOR operations • Encoded symbol should be released until the decoding process finished • Degree release probability is very important • Less number of encoded symbols required to recovery the input symbols means less cost of transmitting the original data information. • The overhead should be considered • : degree distribution : average degree
Average degreeIdeal solitondistribution • Can be calculated based on the summation formula of harmonic progression • r : Euler's constant which is similar to 0.58 • Average degree of ideal soliton degree distribution is
Average degreeRobust solitondistribution • The complexity of its average degree is
Average degreeSuboptimal degree distribution • The complexity of its average degree is
Average degreeScale-free Luby distribution • Based on the properties of Scale-free • The average degree of Scale-free Luby Distribution will be small • (r-1) is the sum of a p-progression • It is obvious that the average degree of SF-LT codes is smaller • Encoding/decoding complexity of SF-LT code is much lower than the others
Degree release probability [6] M. Luby, “LT codes”, Proc. Annu. Symp. Found. Comput. Sci. (Vancouver, Canada), 2002, pp. 271-282. • [6] • In general, r(L) should be larger than 1 • At least 1 encoded symbol is released when an input symbol is processed.

Degree release probabilitySuboptimal degree distribution • Using limit theory, it can be expressed as , where • Suppose E encoded symbols is sufficient to recovery the k original input symbols. • At each decoding step, larger than 1 encoded symbol is released.
Degree release probabilityScale-free Luby distribution • Initial ripple size must be bigger than Robust Soliton Distribution’s • k·P1is bigger than 1 • The complexity is
Degree release probability • Suboptimal degree distribution's degree release probability is bigger than the others
Average overhead factor • A decreasing ripple size provides a better trade-off between robustness and the overhead factor [14] • The theoretical evolution of the ripple size : • Assuming that at each decoding iteration, the input symbols can be added in to the ripple set without repetition [14] Sorensen J. H., Popovski. P., Ostergaard J., "On LT codes with decreasing ripple size", Arxiv preprint PScache/1011.2078v1. : the number of degree-i input symbols left L : the size of unprocessed input symbols
Conclusion • Robust LT codes, suboptimal LT code and SF-LT code are capable to recovery the input symbols efficiently. • From the overhead factor, SF-LT codes and suboptimal LT codes need much less number of encoded symbols to recovery given number of input symbols. • The average degree of SF-LT code is smaller than the others. • SF-LT code performs much better probability of successful decoding and enhanced encoding/decoding complexity
