Robustness to channel variation in source coding for transmission across noisy channels
نویسنده
چکیده
We consider the problem of lossy source coding for transmission across an unknown or time-varying noisy channel. The objective is to design an optimal compression system for applications where the unknown channel characteristics are independently estimated at the channel encoder and decoder. Channel estimation reliability is allowed to vary from perfect channel identi cation to no channel identi cation. In each case, the goal in system design and operation is to achieve the best possible expected performance with respect to the unknown channel state and the accuracy of the channel estimators. We describe an optimal design technique and an algorithm for achieving optimal expected performance for the entire array of channel estimation accuracies. The resulting system achieves up to 9 dB improvement over the performance on a system designed assuming zero probability of error when used to encode a collection of medical brain scans for transmission across a nite state channel containing two equally probable binary symmetric channels with crossover probabilities .05 and .001.

Deep Learning for Joint Source-Channel Coding of Text
We consider the problem of joint source and channel coding of structured data such as natural language over a noisy channel. The typical approach to this problem in both theory and practice involves performing source coding to first compress the text and then channel coding to add robustness for the transmission across the channel. This approach is optimal in terms of minimizing end-to-end dist...
متن کاملProgressive Image Coding on Noisy Channels
Numerous sophisticated techniques have been developed over the last several decades to eeciently transmit images across noisy channels. Here, we cascade an existing image coder with carefully chosen error control coding, and thus produce a progressive image compression scheme whose performance on a noisy channel is signiicantly better than that of previously known image compression techniques. ...
متن کاملA New Unequal Error Protection Technique Based on the Mutual Information of the MPEG-4 Video Frames over Wireless Networks
The performance of video transmission over wireless channels is limited by the channel noise. Thus many error resilience tools have been incorporated into the MPEG-4 video compression method. In addition to these tools, the unequal error protection (UEP) technique has been proposed to protect the different parts in an MPEG-4 video packet with different channel coding rates based on the rate...
متن کاملAdaptive source-channel subband video coding for wireless channels
This paper presents a general framework for combined source-channel coding within the context of subband coding. The unequal importance of sub-bands in reconstruction of the source is exploited by an appropriate allocation of source and channel coding rates for the coding and transmission of subbands over a noisy channel. For each subband, the source coding rate as well as the level of protecti...
