Heterogeneity in expected longevities.
We develop a new methodology to compute differences in the expected longevity of individuals of a given cohort who are in different socioeconomic groups at a certain age. We address the two main problems associated with the standard use of life expectancy: (1) that people's socioeconomic characteristics change, and (2) that mortality has decreased over time. Our methodology uncovers substantial...
متن کاملUnequal Error Protected Image Transmission and Recovery Using Trellis Coding
A new UEP technique for image transmission using trellis code based on Hamming distance criterion has been proposed. The simulation results comparing the image quality and bit-rate for UEP and EEP have been provided. The results show that UEP performs better than EEP in terms of bit-rate without any significant depreciation in image quality. key words: trellis code, unequal error protection, Ha...
متن کاملUnequal Error Protection by Partial Superposition Transmission Using LDPC Codes
In this paper, we consider designing low-density parity-check (LDPC) coded modulation systems to achieve unequal error protection (UEP). We propose a new UEP approach by partial superposition transmission called UEP-by-PST. In the UEP-by-PST system, the information sequence is distinguished as two parts, the more important data (MID) and the less important data (LID), both of which are coded wi...
متن کاملJpeg 2000 Transmission over Wireless Channels Using Unequal Power Allocation
We address the issue of JPEG2000 transmission over wireless channels using Unequal Power Allocation (UPA). First, an algorithm for multicasting JPEG2000 images over MIMO systems is proposed. According to antenna selection orders requested by receivers, the channel assignment unit transmits the substreams with different powers from antennas. The decoder is modified such that when two copies of a...
متن کاملUnequal Packet Loss Protection for Layered Video Transmission
In the paper a general model for the transmission of layered video is introduced. The effect of packet dropping in different layers on the reconstruction of pictures is analysed. The application of unequal packet loss protection (UPLP) for layered video is proposed and the performance is investigated. An algorithm for the design of the UPLP parameters is described. The numerical analysis shows ...
