摘要:
A method of encoding data for transmission from a source to a destination over a communications channel is provided. A plurality of redundant symbols are generated from an ordered set of input symbols to be transmitted. A plurality of output symbols are generated from a combined set of symbols including the input symbols and the redundant symbols, wherein the number of possible output symbols is much larger than the number of symbols in the combined set of symbols, wherein at least one output symbol is generated from more than one symbol in the combined set of symbols and from less than all of the symbols in the combined set of symbols, and such that the ordered set of input symbols can be regenerated to a desired degree of accuracy from any predetermined number, N, of the output symbols.

A method for processing a chain reaction codes includes first selecting a source symbol which is associated an output symbol of degree two or higher (i.e., an output symbol which is itself associated with two or more input symbols), and subsequently deactivating the selected source symbol in an attempt to produce an output symbol of degree one. The inactivation process can be repeated either successively until an output symbol of degree one is identified, and/or whenever the decoding process is unable to locate an output symbol of degree one.

Decoding that uses an extended Hamming code in one of the primary stages of static encoding uses a calculation of the r+1 Hamming redundant symbols for k input symbols from which Hamming redundant symbols are calculated, where r satisfies 2r−1−r≦k

摘要:
In a transport system, data is reliably transported from a sender to a receiver by organizing the data to be transported into data blocks, wherein each data block comprises a plurality of encoding units, transmitting encoding units of a first data block from the sender to the receiver, and detecting, at the sender, acknowledgments of receipt of encoding units by the receiver. At the sender, a probability that the receiver received sufficient encoding units of the first data block to recover the first data block at the receiver is detected and the probability is tested against a threshold probability to determine whether a predetermined test is met. Following the step of testing and prior to the sender receiving confirmation of recovery of the first data block at the receiver, when the predetermined test is met, transmitting encoding units of a second data block from the sender. If an indication of failure to recover the first data block is received at the sender, sending further encoding units for the first data block from the sender to the receiver. In some embodiments, the predetermined test is a comparison of the probability against the threshold probability and the predetermined test is met when the probability is greater than the threshold probability.

摘要:
A media object is scheduled for transmission between a server and a client. The media object is partitioned into segments of blocks, wherein each block is a unit of media for which a client will wait to receive an entire block before playing out the block, and wherein each segment includes an integer number of blocks. One or more channels on which to serve each segment are determined, and a rate at which to serve each segment is determined. Additionally, a schedule pair for each channel is determined. The schedule pair includes a time at which the client may start receiving on the channel and a time at which the client may stop receiving on the channel.
