Description
Summary:Using total transmission time-the time needed to guarantee reliable data dissemination——as judgment criterion,the payload length selection problem was investigated for three multicast solutions which are based on simple feedback retransmission,Reed-Solomon codes,and LT fountain codes,respectively,with the consideration of packet overhead.A theoretical analysis method was proposed to determine the optimal payload lengths,which was verified by simulations.Analyses and simulations indicate,for variable packet overhead sizes and link bit error rates,each method considered has its optimal payload length.As link bit error rate increases,the performance gain brought by the selection of optimal pay-load lengths becomes more significant.Among the three solutions,the reliable multicast solution based on LT fountain codes has the most outstanding performance.
