Abstract

The Gilbert-Elliot (GE) channel is a commonlyaccepted model for packet erasures in networks. Streaming codes are a class of packet-level erasure codes designed to provide reliable communication over the GE channel. The design of a streaming code may be viewed as a two-step process. In the first, a more tractable, delay-constrained sliding window (DCSW) channel model is considered as a proxy to the GE channel. The streaming code is then designed to reliably recover from all erasures introduced by the DCSW channel model. Simulation is typically used to evaluate the performance of the streaming code over the original GE channel, as analytic performance evaluation is challenging. In the present paper, we take an important first step towards analytical performance evaluation. Recognizing that most, efficient constructions of a streaming code are based on the diagonal embedding or horizontal embedding of scalar block codes within a packet stream, this paper provides upper and lower bounds on the block-erasure probability of the underlying scalar block code when operated over the GE channel.A full version of this paper is accessible at 1. © 2021 IEEE.
