A Joint Activity and Data Detection Scheme for Asynchronous Grant-Free Rateless Multiple Access

This paper considers the frameasynchronous grant-free rateless multiple access(FAGF-RMA)scenario,where users can initiate access at any symbol time,using shared channel resources to transmit data to the base station.Rateless coding is introduced to enhance the reliability of the system.Previous literature has shown that FA-GFRMA can achieve lower access delay than framesynchronous grant-free rateless multiple access(FSGF-RMA),with extreme reliability enabled by rateless coding.To support FA-GF-RMA in more practical scenarios,a joint activity and data detection(JADD)scheme is proposed.Exploiting the feature of sporadic traffic,approximate message passing(AMP)is exploited for transmission signal matrix estimation.Then,to determine the packet start points,a maximum posterior probability(MAP)estimation problem is solved based on the recovered transmitted signals,leveraging the intrinsic power pattern in the codeword.An iterative power-pattern-aided AMP algorithm is devised to enhance the estimation performance of AMP.Simulation results verify that the proposed solution achieves a delay performance that is comparable to the performance limit of FA-GF-RMA.

Homomorphic Hashing Verification for Wireless Sensor Networks Rateless Codes Over-the-Air Programming

The homomorphic hash algorithm(HHA)is introduced to help on-the-fly verify the vireless sensor network(WSN)over-the-air programming(OAP)data based on rateless codes.The receiver calculates the hash value of a group of data by homomorphic hash function,and then it compares the hash value with the receiving message digest.Because the feedback channel is deliberately removed during the distribution process,the rateless codes are often vulnerable when they face security issues such as packets contamination or attack.This method prevents contaminating or attack on rateless codes and reduces the potential risks of decoding failure.Compared with the SHA1 and MD5,HHA,which has a much shorter message digest,will deliver more data.The simulation results show that to transmit and verify the same amount of OAP data,HHA method sends 17.9% to 23.1%fewer packets than MD5 and SHA1 under different packet loss rates.

EFFICIENT DESIGN OF ANTI-JAMMING RATELESS CODING IN COGNITIVE OFDM

Efficient anti-jamming rateless coding based on cognitive Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) modulation in Cognitive Radio Network (CRN) is mainly discussed. Rateless coding with small redundancy and low complexity is presented, and the optimal design methods of building rateless codes are also proposed. In CRN, anti-jamming rateless coding could recover the lost packets in parallel channels of cognitive OFDM, thus it protects Secondary Users (SUs) from the in-terference by Primary Users (PUs) efficiently. Frame Error Rate (FER) and throughput performance of SU employing anti-jamming rateless coding are analyzed in detail. Performance comparison between rateless coding and piecewise coding are also presented. It is shown that, anti-jamming rateless coding provides low FER and Word Error Rate (WER) performance with uniform sub-channel selection. Meanwhile, it is also verified that, in higher jamming rate and longer code redundancy scenario, rateless coding method could achieve better FER and throughput performance than another anti-jamming coding schemes.

Multiple Access Rateless Network Coding for Machine-to-Machine Communications

In this paper, we propose a novel multiple access rateless network coding scheme for machine-to-machine （M 2M） communications. The presented scheme is capable of increasing transmission efficiency by reducing occupied time slots yet with high decoding suc-cess rates. Unlike existing state-of-the-art distributed rateless coding schemes, the proposed rateless network coding can dynami-cally recode by using simple yet effective XOR operations, which is suitable for M2M erasure networks. Simulation results and analysis demonstrate that the proposed scheme outperforms the existing distributed rateless network coding schemes in the scenar-io of M2M multicast network with heterogeneous erasure features.

Efficient unequal error protection for online fountain codes

In this paper,an efficient unequal error protection(UEP)scheme for online fountain codes is proposed.In the buildup phase,the traversing-selection strategy is proposed to select the most important symbols(MIS).Then,in the completion phase,the weighted-selection strategy is applied to provide low overhead.The performance of the proposed scheme is analyzed and compared with the existing UEP online fountain scheme.Simulation results show that in terms of MIS and the least important symbols(LIS),when the bit error ratio is 10-4,the proposed scheme can achieve 85%and 31.58%overhead reduction,respectively.

Performance analysis of complexity reduction BP decoding of rateless codes by deleting low reliable symbols

This paper investigates the performance of the method used to reduce the decoding complexity of rateless codes through the deletion of the received symbols with low reliability. In the decoder, the received symbols whose absolute value of logarithm likelihood ratio （LLR） is lower than the threshold are removed, together with their corresponding edges, and thus not involved in the decoding process. The relationship between the deletion probability and the likelihood ratio deletion threshold is derived. The average mutual information per received symbol is analyzed in the case of deletion. The required number of symbols for the decoder to keep the same performance as regular decoding decreases since the average mutual information per symbol increases with the deletion, thus reducing the decoding complexity. This paper analyzes the reduction of decoding computations and the consequent transmission efficiency loss from the perspective of mutual information. The simulation results of decoding performance are consistent with those of the theoretical analysis, which show that the method can effectively reduce the decoding complexity at the cost of a slight loss of transmission efficiency.

Serial decoding of rateless code over noisy channels

Rateless code usually generates a potentially infinite number of coded packets at the encoder and collects enough packets at the decoder to ensure reliable recovery of multiple information packets.The conventional rateless decoder usually works in a parallel manner which needs to initiate a new belief propagation (BP) decoding procedure upon each newly received collection of coded packets,thereby resulting in prohibitive decoding complexity in practice.In this paper,we present a novel serial decoding algorithm,i.e.,the serial storage belief propagation (SS BP) algorithm,for rateless codes over noisy channels.Specifically,upon receiving a new group of coded packets,the decoder initiates a new attempt to decode all the packets received so far,using the results of the previous attempt as initial input.Moreover,in each iteration of the new attempt,the decoder serially propagates the messages group by group from the most recent one to the earliest one.In this way,the newly updated messages can be propagated faster,expediting the recovery of information packets.In addition,the proposed serial decoding algorithm has significantly lower complexity than the existing parallel decoding algorithms.Simulation results validate its effectiveness in AWGN,Rayleigh,and Rician fading channels.
