Cloud computing has been recognized as an important advance for virtualizing computing hardware, distributed computing middleware, and communication networks. For simplifying the network OA/&M (Operation, Administration, and Management) tasks of customers, a CaaS (Communications-as-a-Service) operator can provide virtual communication channels tailored for delivering various services inside a...
Raptor codes can provide good error correction capability and efficient encoding and decoding rates. Its fountain code property is effective in avoiding packet retransmission for both unicast and multicast service delivery. Hence, there are many wireless and broadband applications adopting it such as mobile multimedia broadcasting and broadband IPTV systems. In this paper, we present an efficient...
FLUTE is a file delivery protocol whose operation can only require a unidirectional communication channel from a sender to a receiver. Due to the nature of unidirectional delivery, FLUTE is designed in a flexible way so that it can cooperate with different kinds of forward error correction codes in application layer, such as systematic Raptor codes or other FEC codes defined in IETF. Besides, since...
Several applications benefited from multicast data distribution because a sender can concurrently transmit data to multiple receivers using fewer bandwidth. However, reliability is an important issue in multicast because retransmission is not very efficient in multicast. In recent years, Forward Error Correction (FEC) codes are proposed to facilitate reliable multicast data distribution and are applied...
Forward error correction (FEC) allows the receiver to correct erasure without asking retransmission. This advantage is significant for several applications where retransmission is not available or desirable. In recent years, applying FEC codes to peer-to-peer data distribution networks is an innovation. In this way, the downloader can efficiently reconstruct the data from the encoding symbols multicasted...
Multicast transmission enables a sender to distribute data to multiple intended receivers simultaneously. However, the multicast transmission should be reliable in erasure channel. Forward Error Correction (FEC) enables the lost packets to be recovered from some extra redundant packets without any retransmission. In this paper, we propose a new FEC codes, called Polynomial Interpolation codes (PI...
In 2007, Kim et al. proposed a secure compression code called the secure arithmetic code (SAC). The code was claimed to be secure against chosen plaintext attacks. However, we find that the SAC is not as secure as the authors have claimed. In this paper, we show the code is prone to two attacks. The first attack completely breaks the code using an adaptive chosen plaintext attack with a polynomial...
