Fountain Capacity
2006
IEEE International Symposium on Information Theory
Fountain codes have been successfully employed for reliable and efficient transmission of information via erasure channels with unknown erasure rates. This paper introduces the notion of fountain capacity for arbitrary channels, and shows that it is equal to the conventional Shannon capacity for stationary memoryless channels. In contrast, when the channel is not stationary or has memory, Shannon capacity and fountain capacity need not be equal.
