On Improving the Reliability of Gossip-Type Broadcast through Erasure Coding

Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) Recently, gossip has gained popularity as an effective broadcasting method. Research has shown that gossip-based broadcasting can reduce the amount of communication traffic, compared to flooding, a traditional broadcasting scheme. Even in this approach, however, achieving high reliability requires a large amount of traffic, which may hinder the advantages of using gossip. To address this problem, this paper proposes an optimization technique using erasure codes. An erasure code encodes data into multiple fragments with redundant information. The original data can be retrieved from any set of the fragments if the number of these fragments exceeds a predefined threshold. The basic idea behind the proposed optimization is to encode a broadcasting message with an erasure code and then to broadcast each of the fragments using a gossip protocol.Through numerical analysis, the usefulness of the proposed technique is demonstrated.
