Outsourcing data on the cloud storage services has already attracted great attention due to prospect of rapid data growth and storing efficiencies for customers. The coding-based cloud storage approach can offer more reliable and faster solution with less storage space in comparison with replication-based cloud storage. LT codes as a famous member of rateless codes family can improve performance of storage systems utilizing good degree distributions. Since degree distribution plays key role in LT codes performance, recently introduced Poisson Robust Soliton Distribution (PRSD) and Combined Poisson Robust Soliton Distribution (CPRSD) motivate us to investigate LT codes-based cloud storage system. So, we exploit LT codes with new degree distributions in order to provide lower average degree and higher decoding efficiency, specifically when receiving fewer encoding symbols, comparing with popular degree distribution, Robust Soliton Distribution (RSD). In this paper, we show that proposed cloud storage outperforms traditional ones in terms of storage space and robustness encountering unavailability of encoding symbols, due to compatible properties of PRSD and CPRSD with cloud storage essence. Furthermore, modified decoding process based on required encoding symbols behavior is presented to reduce data retrieval time. Numerical results confirm improvement of cloud storage performance.
