Abstract
Research has shown that fluid limits of Markov processes can be used to obtain closed form expressions for the evolution of the ripple-size. In this work we extend the above analysis to generalized LT (GLT) codes, which can be used to represent LT encoding (with priorities) over multiple data segments. In our analysis, we segregate the ripple into multiple colored ripples, where each color corresponds to a segment. We derive closed form expressions for the size of each ripple. We utilize these expressions to design GLT distributions, optimized for a desired intermediate and unequal recovery.
