Talk:ratelessly

"In a rateless manner" (but it's not clear from rateless: what that means). Only one match in Google Books. Equinox ◑ 21:54, 17 May 2010 (UTC)


 * I could not find citations that are independent of the 2 non-independent ones at bgc at Scholar. I found none at all at News or Groups. We are at the top of the Web hits (~160 total). The web hits are consistent with what I found for "rateless" at WP. I found our definition even less comprehensible than what WP had.
 * From Fountain code: "The term fountain or rateless refers to the fact that these codes do not exhibit a fixed code rate." The actual wording of the definition of rateless: is left as an exercise for the reader. (ie, I don't have any understanding of what would in the numerator and denominator of a "code rate". I doubt if I could say more than a sentence about w:Category:Coding theory, which seems to be the context, part of mathematical communications theory.) DCDuring TALK 00:00, 18 May 2010 (UTC)
 * I've added a quotation, presumably the one to which Equinox referred. It appears to be from an edited book — which is to say, from a conference paper invited to be included in said book. I think this maybe has (or maybe should have) the weight of a journal publication. In any case, the sense seems to be of "in a manner that employs a rateless code."
