Abstract
Degree distribution plays a great role in the performance of Luby transform codes. Typical degree distributions such as ideal soliton distribution and robust soliton distribution are easy to implement and widely used. Nevertheless, their adaptabilities are not always outstanding in various code lengths, especially in the case of short length. In this paper, our work is to optimize degree distributions for the short-length LT codes by using swarm intelligence algorithm, considering its conceptual simplicity, high efficiency, flexibility, and robustness. An optimization problem model based on sparse degree distributions is proposed in the first place. Then, a solution on the basis of an enhanced chicken swarm optimization algorithm, termed as ECSO, is designed for the problem. In ECSO, substitution of bottom individuals, revision of chicks’ update equation, and introduction of differential evolution are designed to enhance the ability of optimization. Simulation comparisons show that the proposed solution achieves much better performance than two other swarm intelligence-based solutions.
