Abstract
A system and method for redundant transmission is provided. In one embodiment, an input signal S is encoded as a list of fragments. Each fragment includes an index value and a projection value. The index points to an entry in a dictionary of signal elements. A repetition factor is assigned to each fragment based on its importance. After a fragment is added, a reconstructed signal is generated by decoding the list of fragments. Encoding terminates once the reconstructed signal is sufficiently close to the original signal S.
