This paper introduces three coding strategies for using the Luby Transform (LT) code in a relay aided power-line communication scheme. In the first method, the relay decodes the received packets and re-encodes them for transmission towards the destination. In the second method, the relay only forwardes a random linear combination of its received packets towards the destination, while in the thi...

Pavement design is the process of calculation thickness pavement layers which can withstand expected traffic load over life without deteriorating. In another word, it providing a structure in stresses on subgrade are reduced to acceptable magnitude. Highways Sudan deteriorate first years construction due many reasons including deficiency design. This research aims minimize probability roads fai...
