Coding of Data Streams in a Vast Storage Network

Abstract:

A method begins by a processing module concurrently receiving a first data stream and a second data stream for transmission to a receiving entity. The method continues with the processing module dividing each of the first and second data streams to produce a first plurality of data blocks corresponding to the first data stream and a second plurality of data blocks corresponding to the second data stream, where data blocks of the first plurality of data blocks are time aligned with data blocks of the second plurality of data blocks. The method continues with the processing module creating a data matrix from the first and second plurality of data blocks and generating a coded matrix from the data matrix and an encoding matrix. The method continues with the processing module outputting a plurality of pairs of coded values of the coded matrix to the receiving entity.
