Cooperative video coding scheme with fountain code on the concentration on data size

Abstract

In wireless video broadcast system, Cooperative coding technique combines the cooperative communications with channel coding technique so as to guarantees high performance, which could bring better experience for users. But the high performance is as the cost of more bandwidth to serve more data size. In this paper, we propose a cooperative coding scheme using fountain code to decrease the data size we need to transport. We present the cooperative coding schemes with decode-forward (DF) mode. The experiment results show that this scheme decreases the data size that we need to transport compared with those using LDPC codes and improves the throughput.
