In this paper I analyzed two decoding algorithms of decentralized LT codes for distributed storage by simulations in small-scale wireless sensor network. From the simulation results we can see that when the decoding ration is above 2.0, the successful decoding probability of OBP decoding is about 99%, while that of BP decoding is below 50% with n=100, and about 70% with n=200. We showed that OBP decoding algorithm is an efficient decoding scheme for decentralized LT codes for distributed storage in small-scale wireless sensor network.

It is known that a belief propagation algorithm is a fast decoding scheme for LT codes but it require a large overhead, especially for a short block length LT codes. In this paper an improved belief decoding algorithm using searching method for degree-1 packets is proposed for a small overhead. The proposed decoding scheme shows the desirable performance in terms of overhead while guaranteeing the same computational complexity with respect to the conventional BP decoding scheme.

In this paper an efficient LT decoding scheme using GE triangularization is proposed. The proposed algorithm has the desirable performance in terms of both overhead and computational complexity. Belief propagation algorithm is a fast and simple decoding scheme for LT codes. However, for a small code block length k, it requires a large overhead to decode, and OFG which has a small overhead has a large computational complexity. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm noticeably reduces the computational complexity by more than 1/5 with respect to that of OFG and also its overhead has a small value about 1~5%.
