Jointly Decoded Raptor Codes: Analysis and Design for the BIAWGN Channel

We are interested in the analysis and optimization of Raptor codes under a joint decoding framework, that is, when the precode and the fountain code exchange soft information iteratively. We develop an analytical asymptotic convergence analysis of the joint decoder, derive an optimization method for...
