SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR COMMUNICATING USING FOUTAIN CODES

摘要

A system and method for communicating wirelessly from a mobile device (12) to a remote receiver station (14) is disclosed. The system includes a controller (22) configured to monitor a status of the mobile device (12) and, upon an initiation event, initiate a data transfer process to wirelessly communicate data to the remote receiver station ()14. The system also includes a voice-band modem (24) that, upon initiation of the data transfer process is configured to receive data for transfer to the remote receiver station (14), divide the source data into a collection source packets, and encode the data using a fountain code encoding protocol to form a series of encoded packets. The voice band modem (24) is also configured to transmit the series of encoded packets to the remote receiver station (14) as a burst including all of the source data and repeatedly transmit the encoded packets until receiving an indication that the series of packets including all of the source data has been received at the receiving station (14).
