Simplified, an erasure code allows for the creation of jokers over a set of original pieces, these jokers can then be used to repair any missing piece from the original set.

In this post, we invited Dr. Andrea Tassi to present the work he co-authored with Dr. Evgeny Tsimbalo and Dr. Robert J. Piechocki as part the manuscript “Reliability of Multicast under Random Linear Network Coding”.

The IEEE 5G Summit Dresden was a great success for Steinwurf and our partner Code On.

The 15th to 19th September IBC 2017 is on in Amsterdam. We are looking forward meet and discuss the future of content distribution systems.

The basic principle behind the unicast and multicast is illustrated in the figures below. First for unicast where packets are sent to each receiver one at a time.

Consumer electronics is an extremely interesting market for us, where e.g. our reliable multi-cast protocol Score can bring lots of value. I.e. for reliable and scalable video streaming via WiFi from e.g. smart cameras, drones, etc.

From July 16-21 IETF 99 is being held in Prague, Czech Republic and along side it several of the IRTF research groups are also meeting.

In this post we invited Juan Cabrera to present the work he did as part of his paper “Taking the Trash Back…” which got accepted for European Wireless 2017.

Last year at Mobile World Congress (MWC) we provided the multicasting protocol to a demo where we send low latency live video to 30 tablets. This years setup is a bit different.

Our partner CodeOn, is attending WCNC and will demonstrate wurf.it, multicasting video to 30 tablets simultaneously with low delay and high reliability.

We are attending Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2017 from Monday 27th of February to Wednesday 1st of March.

Our multicast protocol, Score, would be great when you want to multicast video and other bandwidth demanding content to all the participants.

In this post we invited Martin, Rasmus, Rasmus and Kasper to present the work they did in their 7th semester project, fall 2016 at Aalborg University (with Steinwurf providing co-supervision).

In this post we invited Patrick J. Braun to write about the work they were presenting at CCNC, one of which used Kodo (our erasure coding library) in web browsers - cool stuff!

Our industrial PhD student Nestor Hernández is getting his PhD today. His research mainly focuses on utilizing Network Coding for device to device cooperation in wireless networks.

As a Linux C/C++ developer did you ever encounter the error while loading shared libraries error when launching an executable? In this blog we investigate WHY that happens, and how to solve it in an alternative way than the “rpath option of the linker”-method.

Ulrich Speidel is visiting us for the next three weeks. He is a senior lecturer at the University of Auckland in the Department of Computer Science. He is currently involved in optimizing Internet connectivity on satellite links in the Pacific, specifically in the Cook Islands, Niue and Tuvalu.

We are pleased to announce the first release of our new open source lightweight C++ library Bitter, which is a library for writing bit/byte fields into a data container.
