摘要
Fountain coding is a valuable tool for multicast transmissions in half-duplex packet radio networks if it is supported by an adaptive transmission protocol that compensates for fluctuations in the propagation losses on the radio links. Our goal is to devise low-complexity packet-by-packet adaptive modulation and channel coding protocols that provide high throughput for a broad range of multicast channels and operate with limited feedback and no knowledge of the fade levels or even the probability distribution for the fading on the radio links. The only control information for the protocols is derived from simple receiver statistics that are obtained by the demodulators and channel decoders in the receiving radios. Performance results are presented for practical fountain coding with low-complexity adaptive modulation and channel coding. Results on ideal fountain coding with adaptive transmission based on hypothetical perfect channel-state information are employed as performance benchmarks.
