Suppose that we want to send a description of a single source to two listeners through a Gaussian broadcast channel, where the channel is used once per source sample. The problem of joint source-channel coding is to design a communication system to minimize the distortion D-1 at receiver 1 and at the same time minimize the distortion D-2 at receiver 2. If the source is Gaussian, the optimal solution is well known, and it is achieved by an uncoded "analog" scheme. In this correspondence, we consider a Gaussian mixture source. We derive inner and outer bounds for the distortion region of all (D-1, D-2) pairs that are simultaneously achievable. The outer bound is based on the entropy power inequality, while the inner bound is attained by a digital-over-analog encoding scheme, which we present here. We also show that if the modes of the Gaussian mixture are highly separated, our bounds are tight, and hence, our scheme attains the entire distortion region. This optimal region exceeds the region attained by separating source and channelcoding, although it does not contain the "ideal" point (D-1, D-2) = (R-1(C-1), R-1(C-2)).

In this paper, we develop an approach toward joint source-channel coding for motion-compensated DCT-based scalable video coding and transmission. A framework for the optimal selection of the source and channelcoding rates over all scalable layers is presented such that the overall distortion is minimized. The algorithm utilizes universal rate distortion characteristics which are obtained experimentally and show the sensitivity of the source encoder and decoder to channel errors. The proposed algorithm allocates the available bit rate between scalable layers and, within each layer, between source and channelcoding. We present the results of this rate allocation algorithm for video transmission over a wireless channel using the H.263 Version 2 signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) scalable codec for sourcecoding and rate-compatible punctured convolutional (RCPC) codes for channelcoding. We discuss the performance of the algorithm with respect to the channel conditions, coding methodologies, layer rates, and number of layers.

joint source-channel coding schemes have been proven to be very effective for reliable multimedia communications. In this paper, we develop a joint source-channel coding scheme that combines the hidden Markov source (HMS) estimation and the low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes with an iterative estimation/decoding scheme. With this innovative combination, multimedia source redundancy Could be accurately extracted by the hidden Markov estimation without any a priori information about the source. Moreover, the interleaver that is usually used to separate the sourcecoding and channelcoding can be avoided by exploiting the randomizing property of the LDPC codes. Furthermore, the channel decoding procedure may be implemented in parallel, resulting in good performance with a fairly low decoding complexity and delay. Simulation results have shown that the proposed scheme can achieve much better performance than the standard coding scheme over the binary input additive white Gaussian noise (BIAWGN) channels.

Differentiated Services (DiffServ) is one of the leading architectures for providing quality of service in the Internet. We propose a scheme for real-time video transmission over a DiffServ network that jointly considers video sourcecoding, packet classification, and error concealment within a framework of cost-distortion optimization. The selections of encoding parameters and packet classification are both used to manage end-to-end delay variations and packet losses within the network. We present two dual formulations of the proposed scheme: the minimum distortion problem, in which the objective is to minimize the end-to-end distortion subject to cost and delay constraints, and the minimum cost problem, which minimizes the total cost subject to end-to-end distortion and delay constraints. A solution to these problems using Lagrangian relaxation and dynamic programming is given. Simulation results demonstrate the advantage of jointly adapting the sourcecoding and packet classification in DiffServ networks.

An algorithm for multiple description coding (MDC) based on Gaussian mixture models (GMMs) is presented. Based on the parameters of the GMM, the algorithm combines MDC scalar quantizers, yielding a source-optimized vector MDC system. The performance is evaluated on a speech spectrum source in terms of mean-squared error and log spectral distortion. It is demonstrated experimentally that the proposed system outperforms single description coding and repetition coding over a wide range of channel failure probabilities. The proposed algorithm has a complexity that is linear in rate and dimension while retaining a near optimal vector quantizer point density.

We present a new class of nonlinear block codes called source-optimized channel codes (SOCCs), which are particularly designed for parametric source encoding of speech, audio, and video. In contrast to conventional channel codes, the new codes are not optimized for minimizing residual bit-error rate, but maximizing the signal-to-noise ratio of transmitted source codec parameters. The decoding of SOCCs is not based on bit-error correction, but on parameter estimation. We compare SOCCs with other approaches to jointsource/channelcoding such as channel-optimized vector quantization, channel-constrained vector quantization, unequal error protection, and source-controlled channel decoding. In terms of performance, SOCCs show better robustness if under channel mismatch conditions. For real-world applications, SOCCs are attractive, since the separation of source and channel codec is preserved.

joint source-channel coding schemes have been proven to be effective ways for reliable multimedia communications. In this paper, we develop a joint source-channel coding scheme that well combines the hidden Markov source (HMS) estimation and the powerful low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes with an iterative estimation/decoding scheme. With this coding method, the source redundancy could be accurately extracted by the hidden Markov estimation without using any priori information about the source. Moreover, the interleaver that is likely used to separate the sourcecoding and channelcoding is exempted by exploiting the randomizing property of the LDPC codes, while the channel decoding procedure may be implemented in parallel, resulting in good performance with a fairly low decoding complexity and delay.

In this paper, we consider real-time video coding and transmission over packet-switched wireless IP networks using RCPT codes in a jointsource and channelcoding (JSCC) approach. In particular, the performance of this JSCC approach employing RCPT coding schemes for RTP-H.263+ packet video transmission over so fading Rician channels is studied. Results indicate that an RCPT-JSCC approach is attractive for real-time video applications an leads to increased system capacity together with more acceptable delivered video quality over time-varying wireless networks.

A robust video communication system based on layered coding and unequal error protection is developed in this work. We consider two video communication scenarios. First, for pre-compressed video bitstreams, a channel code rate allocation scheme is proposed to minimize the expected mean square error subject to a constraint on the overall bit budget. Second, for real-time video transmission, we jointly optimize the quantization parameters and the channelcoding rates according to channel conditions. To this end, we develop a simple rate-distortion model for general video coders using DCT and motion compensation, so that the rate and the distortion can be estimated without an expensive encoding procedure. Simulation results Show that the proposed algorithms provide acceptable image quality even in high bit error rate environments. (c) 2005 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

We formulate a problem of state information transmission over a state-dependent channel with states known at the transmitter. In particular, we solve a problem of minimizing the mean-squared channel state estimation error E parallel to S-n - S-n parallel to for a state-dependent additive Gaussian channel Y-n = X-n + S-n + Z(n) with an independent and identically distributed (i.i.d.) Gaussian state sequence S-n = (S1,..., S-n) known at the transmitter and an unknown i.i.d. additive Gaussian noise Z(n). We show that a simple technique of direct state amplification (i.e., X-n = alpha S-n), where the transmitter uses its entire power budget to amplify the channel state, yields the minimum mean-squared state estimation error. This same channel can also be used to send additional independent information at the expense of a higher channel state estimation error. We characterize the optimal tradeoff between the rate R of the independent information that can be reliably transmitted and the mean-squared state estimation error D. We show that any optimal (R, D) tradeoff pair can be achieved via a simple power-sharing technique, whereby the transmitter power is appropriately allocated between pure information transmission and state amplification.
