文摘This paper proposed a practical- feedback scheme for fountain codes based transportprotocol in space communications. In the proposed scheme, the sender is signaled by two types of acknowledgment (ACK) packets.Before decoding, packet loss probability isestimated on the receiver side and encapsulated intoa soft ACKand sent to the sender.After decoding,decoding results are encapsulated into hard ACKsandsent to the sender. There are two contributionsin the proposed scheme: 1. Empl layer calculation instead layer statistics to estimate oying physical of application the packet loss probability of space channel, which can improvethe accuracy and practicality. 2. A cascade overhead-failure probability relationship between the sender and the receiver has been analyzed to help determine the exact numberof packetsneeded byfountain decoding.Simulations show that for space communications,compared with the existing space transport protocols, fountain codes based transport protoeolwith the proposed schemecan not only ensure transmission reliability, but also greatly improvelink utilization.
