Summary :

With increasing Internet traffic congestion, the provision of reliable transmission and packet loss recovery continues to be of substantial importance. In this paper, we analyze a new recovery method using punctured convolutional codes, demonstrating the simplicity and efficiency of the proposed method for the recovery of lost packets. The analysis provides a method for determining the recoverability and the post-reconstruction receiving rate for a given convolutional code. The exact expressions for calculating the recovery rate are derived for a number of convolutional codes and the (2, 1, m) punctured convolutional code. Where packet loss probabilities are in the range typically found in Internet transmissions, the convolutional code-based method delivers superior performance over the traditional parity method with the same redundancy.
