Standards Track [Page 2] + +RFC 5053 Raptor FEC Scheme October 2007 + + +1. Introduction + + This document specifies an FEC Scheme for the Raptor forward error + correction code for object delivery applications. The concept of an + FEC Scheme is defined in [RFC5052] and this document follows the + format prescribed there and uses the terminology of that document. + Raptor Codes were introduced in [Raptor]. For an overview, see, for + example, [CCNC]. + + The Raptor FEC Scheme is a Fully-Specified FEC Scheme corresponding + to FEC Encoding ID 1. + + Raptor is a fountain code, i.e., as many encoding symbols as needed + can be generated by the encoder on-the-fly from the source symbols of + a block. The decoder is able to recover the source block from any + set of encoding symbols only slightly more in number than the number + of source symbols. + + The code described in this document is a systematic code, that is, + the original source symbols can be sent unmodified from sender to + receiver, as well as a number of repair symbols. For more background + on the use of Forward Error Correction codes in reliable multicast, + see [RFC3453]. + + The code described here is identical to that described in [MBMS]. + +2. Requirements Notation + + The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", + "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this + document are to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119]. + +3. Formats and Codes + +3.1. FEC Payload IDs + + The FEC Payload ID MUST be a 4 octet field defined as follows: + + 0 1 2 3 + 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 + +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ + | Source Block Number | Encoding Symbol ID | + +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ + + Figure 1: FEC Payload ID format + + + + + + +Luby, et al.

FEC Object Transmission Information (OTI) + +3.2.1. Mandatory + + The value of the FEC Encoding ID MUST be 1 (one), as assigned by IANA + (see Section 7). + +3.2.2. Common + + The Common FEC Object Transmission Information elements used by this + FEC Scheme are: + + - Transfer Length (F) + + - Encoding Symbol Length (T) + + The Transfer Length is a non-negative integer less than 2^^45. The + Encoding Symbol Length is a non-negative integer less than 2^^16. + + The encoded Common FEC Object Transmission Information format is + shown in Figure 2. + + 0 1 2 3 + 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 + +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ + | Transfer Length | + + +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ + | | Reserved | + +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ + | Encoding Symbol Length | + +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ + + Figure 2: Encoded Common FEC OTI for Raptor FEC Scheme + + NOTE 1: The limit of 2^^45 on the transfer length is a consequence + of the limitation on the symbol size to 2^^16-1, the limitation on + the number of symbols in a source block to 2^^13, and the + + + + +Luby, et al. Standards Track [Page 4] + +RFC 5053 Raptor FEC Scheme October 2007 + + + limitation on the number of source blocks to 2^^16. However, the + Transfer Length is encoded as a 48-bit field for simplicity. + +3.2.3. Scheme-Specific + + The following parameters are carried in the Scheme-Specific FEC + Object Transmission Information element for this FEC Scheme: + + - The number of source blocks (Z) + + - The number of sub-blocks (N) + + - A symbol alignment parameter (Al) + + These parameters are all non-negative integers. The encoded Scheme- + specific Object Transmission Information is a 4-octet field + consisting of the parameters Z (2 octets), N (1 octet), and Al (1 + octet) as shown in Figure 3. + + 0 1 2 3 + 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 + +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ + | Z | N | Al | + +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ + + Figure 3: Encoded Scheme-Specific FEC Object Transmission Information + + The encoded FEC Object Transmission Information is a 14-octet field + consisting of the concatenation of the encoded Common FEC Object + Transmission Information and the encoded Scheme-Specific FEC Object + Transmission Information. + + These three parameters define the source block partitioning as + described in Section 5.3.1.2. + +4. Procedures + +4.1. Content Delivery Protocol Requirements + + This section describes the information exchange between the Raptor + FEC Scheme and any Content Delivery Protocol (CDP) that makes use of + the Raptor FEC Scheme for object delivery. + + The Raptor encoder and decoder for object delivery require the + following information from the CDP: + + - The transfer length of the object, F, in bytes + + + + +Luby, et al. Standards Track [Page 5] + +RFC 5053 Raptor FEC Scheme October 2007 + + + - A symbol alignment parameter, Al + + - The symbol size, T, in bytes, which MUST be a multiple of Al + + - The number of source blocks, Z + + - The number of sub-blocks in each source block, N + + The Raptor encoder for object delivery additionally requires: + + - the object to be encoded, F bytes + + The Raptor encoder supplies the CDP with the following information + for each packet to be sent: + + - Source Block Number (SBN) + + - Encoding Symbol ID (ESI) + + - Encoding symbol(s) + + The CDP MUST communicate this information to the receiver. + +4.2. Example Parameter Derivation Algorithm + + This section provides recommendations for the derivation of the three + transport parameters, T, Z, and N. This recommendation is based on + the following input parameters: + + - F the transfer length of the object, in bytes + + - W a target on the sub-block size, in bytes + + - P the maximum packet payload size, in bytes, which is assumed to + be a multiple of Al + + - Al the symbol alignment parameter, in bytes + + - Kmax the maximum number of source symbols per source block. + + Note: Section 5.1.2 defines Kmax to be 8192. + + - Kmin a minimum target on the number of symbols per source block + + - Gmax a maximum target number of symbols per packet + + + + + + +Luby, et al. Standards Track [Page 6] + +RFC 5053 Raptor FEC Scheme October 2007 + + + Based on the above inputs, the transport parameters T, Z, and N are + calculated as follows: + + Let + + G = min{ceil(P*Kmin/F), P/Al, Gmax} + + T = floor(P/(Al*G))*Al + + Kt = ceil(F/T) + + Z = ceil(Kt/Kmax) + + N = min{ceil(ceil(Kt/Z)*T/W), T/Al} + + The value G represents the maximum number of symbols to be + transported in a single packet. The value Kt is the total number of + symbols required to represent the source data of the object. The + values of G and N derived above should be considered as lower bounds. + It may be advantageous to increase these values, for example, to the + nearest power of two. In particular, the above algorithm does not + guarantee that the symbol size, T, divides the maximum packet size, + P, and so it may not be possible to use the packets of size exactly + P. If, instead, G is chosen to be a value that divides P/Al, then + the symbol size, T, will be a divisor of P and packets of size P can + be used. + + The algorithm above and that defined in Section 5.3.1.2 ensure that + the sub-symbol sizes are a multiple of the symbol alignment + parameter, Al. This is useful because the XOR operations used for + encoding and decoding are generally performed several bytes at a + time, for example, at least 4 bytes at a time on a 32-bit processor. + Thus, the encoding and decoding can be performed faster if the sub- + symbol sizes are a multiple of this number of bytes. + + Recommended settings for the input parameters, Al, Kmin, and Gmax are + as follows: Al = 4, Kmin = 1024, Gmax = 10. + + The parameter W can be used to generate encoded data that can be + decoded efficiently with limited working memory at the decoder. Note + that the actual maximum decoder memory requirement for a given value + of W depends on the implementation, but it is possible to implement + decoding using working memory only slightly larger than W. + + + + + + + + +Luby, et al.

Overview + + The principal component of the systematic Raptor code is the basic + encoder described in Section 5.4. First, it is described how to + derive values for a set of intermediate symbols from the original + source symbols such that knowledge of the intermediate symbols is + sufficient to reconstruct the source symbols. Secondly, the encoder + produces repair symbols, which are each the exclusive OR of a number + of the intermediate symbols. The encoding symbols are the + combination of the source and repair symbols. The repair symbols are + produced in such a way that the intermediate symbols, and therefore + also the source symbols, can be recovered from any sufficiently large + set of encoding symbols. + + This document specifies the systematic Raptor code encoder. A number + of possible decoding algorithms are possible. An efficient decoding + algorithm is provided in Section 5.5. + + The construction of the intermediate and repair symbols is based in + part on a pseudo-random number generator described in + Section 5.4.4.1. This generator is based on a fixed set of 512 + random numbers that MUST be available to both sender and receiver. + These are provided in Section 5.6. + + + + + + + +Luby, et al. Standards Track [Page 11] + +RFC 5053 Raptor FEC Scheme October 2007 + + + Finally, the construction of the intermediate symbols from the source + symbols is governed by a 'systematic index', values of which are + provided in Section 5.7 for source block sizes from 4 source symbols + to Kmax = 8192 source symbols. + +5.3. Object Delivery + +5.3.1. Source Block Construction + +5.3.1.1. General + + In order to apply the Raptor encoder to a source object, the object + may be broken into Z >= 1 blocks, known as source blocks. The Raptor + encoder is applied independently to each source block. Each source + block is identified by a unique integer Source Block Number (SBN), + where the first source block has SBN zero, the second has SBN one, + etc. Each source block is divided into a number, K, of source + symbols of size T bytes each. Each source symbol is identified by a + unique integer Encoding Symbol Identifier (ESI), where the first + source symbol of a source block has ESI zero, the second has ESI one, + etc. + + Each source block with K source symbols is divided into N >= 1 sub- + blocks, which are small enough to be decoded in the working memory. + Each sub-block is divided into K sub-symbols of size T'. + + Note that the value of K is not necessarily the same for each source + block of an object and the value of T' may not necessarily be the + same for each sub-block of a source block. However, the symbol size + T is the same for all source blocks of an object and the number of + symbols, K, is the same for every sub-block of a source block. Exact + partitioning of the object into source blocks and sub-blocks is + described in Section 5.3.1.2 below. + +5.3.1.2. Source Block and Sub-Block Partitioning + + The construction of source blocks and sub-blocks is determined based + on five input parameters, F, Al, T, Z, and N, and a function + Partition[]. The five input parameters are defined as follows: + + - F the transfer length of the object, in bytes + + - Al a symbol alignment parameter, in bytes + + - T the symbol size, in bytes, which MUST be a multiple of Al + + - Z the number of source blocks + + + + +Luby, et al. Standards Track [Page 12] + +RFC 5053 Raptor FEC Scheme October 2007 + + + - N the number of sub-blocks in each source block + + These parameters MUST be set so that ceil(ceil(F/T)/Z) <= Kmax. + Recommendations for derivation of these parameters are provided in + Section 4.2. + + The function Partition[] takes a pair of integers (I, J) as input and + derives four integers (IL, IS, JL, JS) as output. Specifically, the + value of Partition[I, J] is a sequence of four integers (IL, IS, JL, + JS), where IL = ceil(I/J), IS = floor(I/J), JL = I - IS * J, and JS = + J - JL. Partition[] derives parameters for partitioning a block of + size I into J approximately equal-sized blocks. Specifically, JL + blocks of length IL and JS blocks of length IS. + + The source object MUST be partitioned into source blocks and sub- + blocks as follows: + + Let + + Kt = ceil(F/T) + + (KL, KS, ZL, ZS) = Partition[Kt, Z] + + (TL, TS, NL, NS) = Partition[T/Al, N] + + Then, the object MUST be partitioned into Z = ZL + ZS contiguous + source blocks, the first ZL source blocks each having length KL*T + bytes, and the remaining ZS source blocks each having KS*T bytes. + + If Kt*T > F, then for encoding purposes, the last symbol MUST be + padded at the end with Kt*T - F zero bytes. + + Next, each source block MUST be divided into N = NL + NS contiguous + sub-blocks, the first NL sub-blocks each consisting of K contiguous + sub-symbols of size of TL*Al and the remaining NS sub-blocks each + consisting of K contiguous sub-symbols of size of TS*Al. The symbol + alignment parameter Al ensures that sub-symbols are always a multiple + of Al bytes. + + Finally, the m-th symbol of a source block consists of the + concatenation of the m-th sub-symbol from each of the N sub-blocks. + Note that this implies that when N > 1, then a symbol is NOT a + contiguous portion of the object. + + + + + + + + +Luby, et al. Standards Track [Page 13] + +RFC 5053 Raptor FEC Scheme October 2007 + + +5.3.2. Encoding Packet Construction + + Each encoding packet contains the following information: + + - Source Block Number (SBN) + + - Encoding Symbol ID (ESI) + + - encoding symbol(s) + + Each source block is encoded independently of the others. Source + blocks are numbered consecutively from zero. + + Encoding Symbol ID values from 0 to K-1 identify the source symbols + of a source block in sequential order, where K is the number of + symbols in the source block. Encoding Symbol IDs from K onwards + identify repair symbols. + + Each encoding packet either consists entirely of source symbols + (source packet) or entirely of repair symbols (repair packet). A + packet may contain any number of symbols from the same source block. + In the case that the last source symbol in a source packet includes + padding bytes added for FEC encoding purposes, then these bytes need + not be included in the packet. Otherwise, only whole symbols MUST be + included. + + The Encoding Symbol ID, X, carried in each source packet is the + Encoding Symbol ID of the first source symbol carried in that packet. + The subsequent source symbols in the packet have Encoding Symbol IDs, + X+1 to X+G-1, in sequential order, where G is the number of symbols + in the packet. + + Similarly, the Encoding Symbol ID, X, placed into a repair packet is + the Encoding Symbol ID of the first repair symbol in the repair + packet and the subsequent repair symbols in the packet have Encoding + Symbol IDs X+1 to X+G-1 in sequential order, where G is the number of + symbols in the packet. + + Note that it is not necessary for the receiver to know the total + number of repair packets. + + Associated with each symbol is a triple of integers (d, a, b). + + The G repair symbol triples (d[0], a[0], b[0]),..., (d[G-1], a[G-1], + b[G-1]) for the repair symbols placed into a repair packet with ESI X + are computed using the Triple generator defined in Section 5.4.4.4 as + follows: + + + + +Luby, et al. Standards Track [Page 14] + +RFC 5053 Raptor FEC Scheme October 2007 + + + For each i = 0, ..., G-1, (d[i], a[i], b[i]) = Trip[K,X+i] + + The G repair symbols to be placed in repair packet with ESI X are + calculated based on the repair symbol triples, as described in + Section 5.4, using the intermediate symbols C and the LT encoder + LTEnc[K, C, (d[i], a[i], b[i])]. + +5.4. Systematic Raptor Encoder + +5.4.1. Encoding Overview + + The systematic Raptor encoder is used to generate repair symbols from + a source block that consists of K source symbols. + + Symbols are the fundamental data units of the encoding and decoding + process. For each source block (sub-block), all symbols (sub- + symbols) are the same size. The atomic operation performed on + symbols (sub-symbols) for both encoding and decoding is the + exclusive-or operation. + + Let C'[0],..., C'[K-1] denote the K source symbols. + + Let C[0],..., C[L-1] denote L intermediate symbols. + + The first step of encoding is to generate a number, L > K, of + intermediate symbols from the K source symbols. In this step, K + source symbol triples (d[0], a[0], b[0]), ..., (d[K-1], a[K-1], + b[K-1]) are generated using the Trip[] generator as described in + Section 5.4.2.2. The K source symbol triples are associated with the + K source symbols and are then used to determine the L intermediate + symbols C[0],..., C[L-1] from the source symbols using an inverse + encoding process.

General + + The first encoding step is a pre-coding step to generate the L + intermediate symbols C[0], ..., C[L-1] from the source symbols C'[0], + ..., C'[K-1]. The intermediate symbols are uniquely defined by two + sets of constraints: + + 1. The intermediate symbols are related to the source symbols by + a set of source symbol triples.

Source Symbol Triples + + Each of the K source symbols is associated with a triple (d[i], a[i], + b[i]) for 0 <= i < K.

Pre-Coding Relationships + + The pre-coding relationships amongst the L intermediate symbols are + defined by expressing the last L-K intermediate symbols in terms of + the first K intermediate symbols. + + The last L-K intermediate symbols C[K],...,C[L-1] consist of S LDPC + symbols and H Half symbols The values of S and H are determined from + K as described below.

Example FEC Decoder + +5.5.1. General + + This section describes an efficient decoding algorithm for the Raptor + codes described in this specification. Note that each received + encoding symbol can be considered as the value of an equation amongst + the intermediate symbols. From these simultaneous equations, and the + known pre-coding relationships amongst the intermediate symbols, any + algorithm for solving simultaneous equations can successfully decode + the intermediate symbols and hence the source symbols. However, the + algorithm chosen has a major effect on the computational efficiency + of the decoding. + +5.5.2. Decoding a Source Block + +5.5.2.1. General + + It is assumed that the decoder knows the structure of the source + block it is to decode, including the symbol size, T, and the number K + of symbols in the source block. + + From the algorithms described in Section 5.4, the Raptor decoder can + calculate the total number L = K+S+H of pre-coding symbols and + determine how they were generated from the source block to be + decoded. In this description, it is assumed that the received + + + +Luby, et al. Standards Track [Page 23] + +RFC 5053 Raptor FEC Scheme October 2007 + + + encoding symbols for the source block to be decoded are passed to the + decoder. Note that, as described in Section 5.3.2, the last source + symbol of a source packet may have included padding bytes added for + FEC encoding purposes. These padding bytes may not be actually + included in the packet sent and so must be reinserted at the received + before passing the symbol to the decoder. + + For each such encoding symbol, it is assumed that the number and set + of intermediate symbols whose exclusive-or is equal to the encoding + symbol is also passed to the decoder. In the case of source symbols, + the source symbol triples described in Section 5.4.2.2 indicate the + number and set of intermediate symbols that sum to give each source + symbol. + + Let N >= K be the number of received encoding symbols for a source + block and let M = S+H+N. The following M by L bit matrix A can be + derived from the information passed to the decoder for the source + block to be decoded. Let C be the column vector of the L + intermediate symbols, and let D be the column vector of M symbols + with values known to the receiver, where the first S+H of the M + symbols are zero-valued symbols that correspond to LDPC and Half + symbols (these are check symbols for the LDPC and Half symbols, and + not the LDPC and Half symbols themselves), and the remaining N of the + M symbols are the received encoding symbols for the source block. + Then, A is the bit matrix that satisfies A*C = D, where here * + denotes matrix multiplication over GF[2]. In particular, A[i,j] = 1 + if the intermediate symbol corresponding to index j is exclusive-ORed + into the LDPC, Half, or encoding symbol corresponding to index i in + the encoding, or if index i corresponds to a LDPC or Half symbol and + index j corresponds to the same LDPC or Half symbol. For all other i + and j, A[i,j] = 0. + + Decoding a source block is equivalent to decoding C from known A and + D. It is clear that C can be decoded if and only if the rank of A + over GF[2] is L. Once C has been decoded, missing source symbols can + be obtained by using the source symbol triples to determine the + number and set of intermediate symbols that MUST be exclusive-ORed to + obtain each missing source symbol. + + The first step in decoding C is to form a decoding schedule. In this + step A is converted, using Gaussian elimination (using row operations + and row and column reorderings) and after discarding M - L rows, into + the L by L identity matrix. The decoding schedule consists of the + sequence of row operations and row and column reorderings during the + Gaussian elimination process, and only depends on A and not on D. + The decoding of C from D can take place concurrently with the + forming of the decoding schedule, or the decoding can take place + afterwards based on the decoding schedule. + + + +Luby, et al. Standards Track [Page 24] + +RFC 5053 Raptor FEC Scheme October 2007 + + + The correspondence between the decoding schedule and the decoding of + C is as follows. Let c[0] = 0, c[1] = 1,...,c[L-1] = L-1 and d[0] = + 0, d[1] = 1,...,d[M-1] = M-1 initially. + + - Each time row i of A is exclusive-ORed into row i' in the decoding + schedule, then in the decoding process, symbol D[d[i]] is + exclusive-ORed into symbol D[d[i']]. + + - Each time row i is exchanged with row i' in the decoding schedule, + then in the decoding process, the value of d[i] is exchanged with + the value of d[i']. + + - Each time column j is exchanged with column j' in the decoding + schedule, then in the decoding process, the value of c[j] is + exchanged with the value of c[j']. + + From this correspondence, it is clear that the total number of + exclusive-ORs of symbols in the decoding of the source block is the + number of row operations (not exchanges) in the Gaussian elimination. + Since A is the L by L identity matrix after the Gaussian elimination + and after discarding the last M - L rows, it is clear at the end of + successful decoding that the L symbols D[d[0]], D[d[1]],..., + D[d[L-1]] are the values of the L symbols C[c[0]], C[c[1]],..., + C[c[L-1]]. + + The order in which Gaussian elimination is performed to form the + decoding schedule has no bearing on whether or not the decoding is + successful. However, the speed of the decoding depends heavily on + the order in which Gaussian elimination is performed. (Furthermore, + maintaining a sparse representation of A is crucial, although this is + not described here). The remainder of this section describes an + order in which Gaussian elimination could be performed that is + relatively efficient. + +5.5.2.2. First Phase + + The first phase of the Gaussian elimination, the matrix A, is + conceptually partitioned into submatrices. The submatrix sizes are + parameterized by non-negative integers i and u, which are initialized + to 0. The submatrices of A are: + + (1) The submatrix I defined by the intersection of the first i + rows and first i columns. This is the identity matrix at the + end of each step in the phase. + + (2) The submatrix defined by the intersection of the first i rows + and all but the first i columns and last u columns. All + entries of this submatrix are zero. + + + +Luby, et al. Standards Track [Page 25] + +RFC 5053 Raptor FEC Scheme October 2007 + + + (3) The submatrix defined by the intersection of the first i + columns and all but the first i rows. All entries of this + submatrix are zero. + + (4) The submatrix U defined by the intersection of all the rows + and the last u columns. + + (5) The submatrix V formed by the intersection of all but the + first i columns and the last u columns and all but the first i + rows. + + Figure 5 illustrates the submatrices of A. At the beginning of the + first phase, V = A. In each step, a row of A is chosen. + + +-----------+-----------------+---------+ + | | | | + | I | All Zeros | | + | | | | + +-----------+-----------------+ U | + | | | | + | | | | + | All Zeros | V | | + | | | | + | | | | + +-----------+-----------------+---------+ + + Figure 5: Submatrices of A in the first phase + + The following graph defined by the structure of V is used in + determining which row of A is chosen. The columns that intersect V + are the nodes in the graph, and the rows that have exactly 2 ones in + V are the edges of the graph that connect the two columns (nodes) in + the positions of the two ones. A component in this graph is a + maximal set of nodes (columns) and edges (rows) such that there is a + path between each pair of nodes/edges in the graph. The size of a + component is the number of nodes (columns) in the component. + + There are at most L steps in the first phase. The phase ends + successfully when i + u = L, i.e., when V and the all-zeroes + submatrix above V have disappeared and A consists of I, the all + zeroes submatrix below I, and U. The phase ends unsuccessfully in + decoding failure if, at some step before V disappears, there is no + non-zero row in V to choose in that step. Whenever there are non- + zero rows in V, then the next step starts by choosing a row of A as + follows: + + + + + + +Luby, et al. Standards Track [Page 26] + +RFC 5053 Raptor FEC Scheme October 2007 + + + o Let r be the minimum integer such that at least one row of A has + exactly r ones in V. + + * If r != 2, then choose a row with exactly r ones in V with + minimum original degree among all such rows. + + * If r = 2, then choose any row with exactly 2 ones in V that is + part of a maximum size component in the graph defined by V. + + After the row is chosen in this step the first row of A that + intersects V is exchanged with the chosen row so that the chosen row + is the first row that intersects V. The columns of A among those + that intersect V are reordered so that one of the r ones in the + chosen row appears in the first column of V and so that the remaining + r-1 ones appear in the last columns of V. Then, the chosen row is + exclusive-ORed into all the other rows of A below the chosen row that + have a one in the first column of V. Finally, i is incremented by 1 + and u is incremented by r-1, which completes the step. + +5.5.2.3. Second Phase + + The submatrix U is further partitioned into the first i rows, + U_upper, and the remaining M - i rows, U_lower. Gaussian elimination + is performed in the second phase on U_lower to either determine that + its rank is less than u (decoding failure) or to convert it into a + matrix where the first u rows is the identity matrix (success of the + second phase). Call this u by u identity matrix I_u. The M - L rows + of A that intersect U_lower - I_u are discarded. After this phase, A + has L rows and L columns. + +5.5.2.4. Third Phase + + After the second phase, the only portion of A that needs to be zeroed + out to finish converting A into the L by L identity matrix is + U_upper. The number of rows i of the submatrix U_upper is generally + much larger than the number of columns u of U_upper. To zero out + U_upper efficiently, the following precomputation matrix U' is + computed based on I_u in the third phase and then U' is used in the + fourth phase to zero out U_upper. The u rows of Iu are partitioned + into ceil(u/8) groups of 8 rows each. Then, for each group of 8 + rows, all non-zero combinations of the 8 rows are computed, resulting + in 2^^8 - 1 = 255 rows (this can be done with 2^^8-8-1 = 247 + exclusive-ors of rows per group, since the combinations of Hamming + weight one that appear in I_u do not need to be recomputed). Thus, + the resulting precomputation matrix U' has ceil(u/8)*255 rows and u + columns. Note that U' is not formally a part of matrix A, but will + be used in the fourth phase to zero out U_upper. + + + + +Luby, et al. Standards Track [Page 27] + +RFC 5053 Raptor FEC Scheme October 2007 + + +5.5.2.5. Fourth Phase + + For each of the first i rows of A, for each group of 8 columns in the + U_upper submatrix of this row, if the set of 8 column entries in + U_upper are not all zero, then the row of the precomputation matrix + U' that matches the pattern in the 8 columns is exclusive-ORed into + the row, thus zeroing out those 8 columns in the row at the cost of + exclusive-ORing one row of U' into the row. + + After this phase, A is the L by L identity matrix and a complete + decoding schedule has been successfully formed. Then, as explained + in Section 5.5.2.1, the corresponding decoding consisting of + exclusive-ORing known encoding symbols can be executed to recover the + intermediate symbols based on the decoding schedule. The triples + associated with all source symbols are computed according to + Section 5.4.2.2. The triples for received source symbols are used in + the decoding.

Standards Track [Page 42] + +RFC 5053 Raptor FEC Scheme October 2007 + + +6. Security Considerations + + Data delivery can be subject to denial-of-service attacks by + attackers that send corrupted packets that are accepted as legitimate + by receivers. This is particularly a concern for multicast delivery + because a corrupted packet may be injected into the session close to + the root of the multicast tree, in which case, the corrupted packet + will arrive at many receivers. This is particularly a concern when + the code described in this document is used because the use of even + one corrupted packet containing encoding data may result in the + decoding of an object that is completely corrupted and unusable. It + is thus RECOMMENDED that source authentication and integrity checking + are applied to decoded objects before delivering objects to an + application. For example, a SHA-1 hash [SHA1] of an object may be + appended before transmission, and the SHA-1 hash is computed and + checked after the object is decoded but before it is delivered to an + application. Source authentication SHOULD be provided, for example, + by including a digital signature verifiable by the receiver computed + on top of the hash value. It is also RECOMMENDED that a packet + authentication protocol, such as TESLA [RFC4082], be used to detect + and discard corrupted packets upon arrival. This method may also be + used to provide source authentication. Furthermore, it is + RECOMMENDED that Reverse Path Forwarding checks be enabled in all + network routers and switches along the path from the sender to + receivers to limit the possibility of a bad agent successfully + injecting a corrupted packet into the multicast tree data path. + + Another security concern is that some FEC information may be obtained + by receivers out-of-band in a session description, and if the session + description is forged or corrupted, then the receivers will not use + the correct protocol for decoding content from received packets. To + avoid these problems, it is RECOMMENDED that measures be taken to + prevent receivers from accepting incorrect session descriptions, + e.g., by using source authentication to ensure that receivers only + accept legitimate session descriptions from authorized senders. + +7. IANA Considerations + + Values of FEC Encoding IDs and FEC Instance IDs are subject to IANA + registration. For general guidelines on IANA considerations as they + apply to this document, see [RFC5052].
