In this dissertation we present new methods for designing efficient Raptor codes in finite and practical block lengths. First we propose an extension of Raptor codes which keeps all the desirable properties, including the linear complexity of encoding and decoding per information bit, and...

In this thesis, the problem of transmitting data in the form of multicast and broadcast traffic has been studied. The traffic can be from a real-time appli- cation which has a short block length or it can be a general broadcast traffic in an ad-hoc network. The goal is to reduce the total number...

For successful correction of errors in a digital communication system, information about the channel, such as timing, noise power, fading gain, etc., should normally be available at the receiver. To this end, most receivers use channel parameter estimation and timing recovery modules. However,...
