Abstract
Dynamic index coding extends traditional index coding by handling real-time traffic flows instead of static data batches. In this letter, we propose a dynamic index coding scheme that operates over an arbitrary side information graph. The scheme leverages time-sharing across an optimal clique covering set of the side information graph, achieving coding gains with a guaranteed lower bound. Additionally, convex optimization is employed to refine the time-sharing coefficients, minimizing the transmission delay. Numerical results show that the optimization process can achieve a typical 10% reduction in the transmission delay, demonstrating the efficiency of the proposed approach.
期刊介绍:
The IEEE Communications Letters publishes short papers in a rapid publication cycle on advances in the state-of-the-art of communication over different media and channels including wire, underground, waveguide, optical fiber, and storage channels. Both theoretical contributions (including new techniques, concepts, and analyses) and practical contributions (including system experiments and prototypes, and new applications) are encouraged. This journal focuses on the physical layer and the link layer of communication systems.
