Design, Analysis and Implementation of Modified Luby Transform Code

Bit losses in erasure channels like computer networks are of great concern. The existing methods to combat bit losses are either inefficient or time consuming due to the retransmission protocols involved. Through this paper, we propose a Modified Luby Transform (MLT) coding scheme to efficiently transmit data over live computer networks. The MLT code can combat bit losses as well as eliminate the need for retransmission. The usability and reliability of the proposed MLT code is verified by testing it on a live computer network.
