Abstract

In our previous work, ''robust transmission of scalable video stream using modified LT codes'', an LT code with unequal packet protection property was proposed. It was seen that applying the proposed code to any importance-sorted input data, could increase the probability of early decoding of the most important parts when enough number of encoded symbols is available at the decoder's side. In this work, the performance of the proposed method is assessed in general case for a wide range of loss rate, even when there are not enough encoded symbols at the decoder's side. Also in this work the degree distribution of input nodes is investigated in more detail. It is illustrated that sorting input nodes in encoding graph, as what we have done in our work, has superior advantage in comparison with unequal input node selection method that is used in traditional rateless code with unequal error protection property.
