Abstract
In this dissertation we present new methods for designing efficient Raptor codes in finite and practical block lengths. First we propose an extension of Raptor codes which keeps all the desirable properties, including the linear complexity of encoding and decoding per information bit, and improves the performance in terms of the reception rate. Our simulations show a 10% reduction in the required overhead at the benchmark block length of 64,520 bits, and with the same complexity per information bit. Second, we consider the practical setting with short block lengths of 1000
