We present a source-channelcoding system for operation over code-division multiple-access channels with time-varying conditions. The proposed system consists of a multistage vector quantizer (MSVQ) in conjunction with unequal protection against channel errors. The receiver estimates the channel conditions and decodes as many stages of the quantizer as can be reliably decoded, The approach to system design and optimization is first derived and evaluated for a system that employs hard decoding of stage indices. The approach is then extended to the more general case of weighted decoding. Simulation results are given for transmission of Gauss-Markov sources over broadcast and slow fading channels. Consistent and substantial improvement is achieved over the standard MSVQ with equal error protection, and the gains, in terms of source signal-to-noise ratio, are in the range of 3-5 dB.

Optimal scalar quantizer design for transmission over a finite-state channel is considered. The objective is to minimize the mean-squared error when the channel is in the normal mode of operation, while guaranteeing a minimum fidelity when the channel is in the ''bad'' state. An optimal quantizer design algorithm for the general case where noisy state information is available both at the receiver and at the transmitter is derived. It is shown that using mixed strategies is necessary in order to achieve the optimal performance. Finally, the case where the observation is noisy is considered and it is shown that the optimal scheme in this case is to apply the algorithm for the ''no observation noise'' to the mean-squared estimate of the desired random variable from the noisy data.

Recent advancements in information technology and the widespread use of the Internet have led to easier access to data worldwide. As a result, transmitting data through noisy channels is inevitable. Reducing the size of data and protecting it during transmission from corruption due to channel noises are two classical problems in communication and information theory. Recently, inspired by deep neural networks' success in different tasks, many works have been done to address these two problems using deep learning techniques. In this paper, we investigate the performance of variational auto-encoders and compare the results with standard autoencoders. Our findings suggest that variational auto-encoders are more robust to channel degradation than auto-encoders. Furthermore, we have tried to excel in the human perceptual quality of reconstructed images by using perception-based error metrics as our network's loss function. To this end, we use the structural similarity index (SSIM) as a perception-based metric to optimize the proposed neural network. Our experiments demonstrate that the SSIM metric visually improves the quality of the reconstructed images at the receiver.

Virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) applications with interactions are usually delay-sensitive. Fast delivery of three-dimensional (3-D) models in VR/AR over wireless networks has been a crucial task due to limited bandwidth and packet error. In this paper we propose an application layer content-aware joint source-channel coding scheme based on forward error correction (FEC). A 3D model is progressively encoded to a base mesh and several refinement layers consisting of connectivity and geometric data. A new design of LT code with a special coding graph has been proposed to provide unequal error protection (UEP) to these two kinds of data. Then a statistical measure is used to optimize the rate allocation for each refinement layer, which is scalable to both network bandwidth and packet loss rate (PLR). Experimental results show that the proposed streaming scheme can achieve the objectives of low transmission delay and small distortion under serious loss.

This paper proposes a jointsource-channel rate-distortion (RD) optimization for real-time video transmission. The video compression and forward error correction (FEC) options are optimized by looking for the best trade-off between the estimated end-to-end distortion of a video packet and the sum of the number of source bits and FEC bits used to encode that packet. Video coding options include coding mode and quantization parameter, which are selected for each macroblock. channelcoding options consist of different FEC code rates that provide different levels of protection against the lossy channel. The proposed RD technique adjusts the bit rate to meet a target using a Lagrange multiplier approach. The encoder also uses the instantaneous channel state information to improve performance for a varying channel. Conventional RD optimization approaches optimize over the video coding modes, and our approach which considers the channel and FEC bits as well has better performance over both AWGN and Rayleigh fading channels. We also consider an approach to reduce the computational complexity of the proposed RD scheme.

This paper investigates the application of novel packet loss protection schemes to compress mixtures of speech sources for interactive real-time audio services such as spatial teleconferencing. Hybrid Forward Error Correction (FEC) and Multiple Description coding (MDC) packet loss protection techniques are applied to the outputs of a psychoacoustic-based Analysis-By-Synthesis (PABS) coder designed for such applications. The protection approaches split the coder outputs into two descriptions that are separately protected using the hybrid FEC-MDC techniques. Perceptual Evaluation of Speech Quality (PESQ) measurements compare the performance of different protection schemes for a range of typical packet loss conditions. Results indicate the proposed scheme maintains the perceptual quality of the speech sources across a wide variety of packet loss conditions.

One of the main challenges for continued wireless capacity growth is the difficulty in exploiting the multicast nature of the wireless medium: wireless end points rarely experience the same channel conditions or access the same content at the same time. In this paper, we present and analyze a novel wireless video delivery paradigm based on the combined use of channel-aware caching and coded multicasting that allows simultaneously serving multiple cache-enabled access points that may be requesting different content and experiencing different channel conditions. To this end, we reformulate the caching-aided coded multicast problem as a joint source-channel coding problem and design an achievable scheme that preserves the cache-enabled multiplicative throughput gains of the error-free scenario, by guaranteeing per-receiver (access point) rates unaffected by the presence of receivers with worse channel conditions.

We consider a universal jointsourcechannelcoding (JSCC) scheme to transmit an arbitrary memoryless source over an arbitrary additive channel. We adopt an architecture that consists of Gaussian codebooks for both the source reproduction sequences and channel codewords. The natural minimum Euclidean distance encoder and decoder, however, need to be judiciously modified to ensure universality as well as to obtain the best (highest) possible communication rates. In particular, we consider the analogue of an unequal error (or message) protection scheme in which all sources are partitioned into disjoint power type classes. We also regularize the nearest neighbor decoder so an appropriate measure of the size of each power type class is taken into account in the decoding strategy. For such an architecture, we derive ensemble tight second-order asymptotics.

In this paper, we consider the problem of sending a bivariate correlated Gaussian source through a two-user Gaussian orthogonal multiple-access channel (MAC), where each encoder observes a noisy version of one of the source components, and the receiver aims at reconstructing each source component. The estimation quality is measured by mean-squared error (MSE) distortion criterion. Different components of the source have their own fidelity requirements instead of total or average distortion measure. It is easy to verify that for this problem, digital communication has an optimal performance. However, it is not explicit that when there is a constraint on the total power budget, what power allocation reaches the optimal power-distortion trade-off. This paper determines the power allocated to each encoder in the digital communication setting. Furthermore, we also analyze the performance of uncoded transmission scheme which has considerably lower complexity and delay than source-channel separation scheme.

The energy-distortion tradeoff for the transmission of a white Gaussian source over the additive white Gaussian broadcast channel is investigated by translating the known upper and lower bounds into the infinite bandwidth regime. While a gap continues to exist between the bounds in this regime, it is shown that in a certain region on the distortion plane, the energy difference between the best known upper and lower bounds is quantifiably small.
