Performance Enhancement for Fountain Codes Aided Multicast Networks Using Cooperative Communication and Partial Relay Selection

Year: 2026

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: This paper proposes a Fountain code (FC)-aided multicast scheme using cooperative communication to enhance outage performance. In the proposed system, a source transmits Fountain packets to a group of destinations with the help of multiple cooperative relays. One of these relays is selected, using a partial relay selection scheme, to participate in the cooperation process. At the destinations, the maximal ratio combining (MRC) technique is applied. This paper evaluates outage probability (OP) and system outage probability (SOP) of the proposed scheme over Rayleigh fading channels, through both mathematical derivations and computer simulations. The results demonstrate that the proposed scheme significantly improves performance, as compared with both the direct transmission scheme and the random relay selection scheme.
