BATched Sparse Coding Scheme for Multi-hop Data Transport

Overview

RFC 9426, “BATched Sparse Coding Scheme for Multi-hop Data Transport”, is an Informational document published in July 2023 by S. Yang, X. Huang, R. Yeung, J. Zao. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.

Abstract

In general, linear network coding can improve the network communication performance in terms of throughput, latency, and reliability. BATched Sparse (BATS) code is a class of efficient linear network coding scheme with a matrix generalization of fountain codes as the outer code and batch-based linear network coding as the inner code. This document describes a baseline BATS coding scheme for communication through multi-hop networks and discusses the related research issues towards a more sophisticated BATS coding scheme. This document is a product of the Coding for Efficient Network Communications Research Group (NWCRG).
