Annotated raptor codes [PDF]

open access: yes2011 IEEE Information Theory Workshop, 2011
In this paper, an extension of raptor codes is introduced which keeps all the desirable properties of raptor codes, including the linear complexity of encoding and decoding per information bit, unchanged. The new design, however, improves the performance in terms of the reception rate.
