We study the joint source-channel coding problem of transmitting a discrete-time analog source over an additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel with interference known at transmitter. We consider the case when the source and the interference are correlated. We first derive an outer bound on the achievable distortion and then, we propose two joint source-channel coding schemes. The first scheme is the superposition of the uncoded signal and a digital part which is the concatenation of a Wyner-Ziv encoder and a dirty paper encoder. In the second scheme, the digital part is replaced by the hybrid digital and analog scheme proposed by Wilson et al. When the channel signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is perfectly known at the transmitter, both proposed schemes are shown to provide identical performance which is substantially better than that of existing schemes. In the presence of an SNR mismatch, both proposed schemes are shown to be capable of graceful enhancement and graceful degradation. Interestingly, unlike the case when the source and interference are independent, neither of the two schemes outperforms the other universally. As an application of the proposed schemes, we provide both inner and outer bounds on the distortion region for the generalized cognitive radio channel.

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)).

This paper studies lossy transmission of a memoryless bivariate Gaussian source over a bandwidthmismatched memoryless Gaussian broadcast channel with two receivers, where each receiver is interested in reconstructing only one source component. For both bandwidth expansion and compression regimes, novel hybrid digital/analog (HDA) coding schemes are proposed. With appropriate choice of parameters, our schemes are shown to specialize to separate source-channelcoding studied by Gao and Tuncel, and is, therefore, superior to it in both bandwidth regimes. Our scheme for bandwidth expansion also outperforms the HDA coding scheme of Behroozi et al. On the other hand, if a proposed conjecture (supported by numerical observations) is indeed true, the same superiority follows for the bandwidth compression regime as well. Finally, when the bandwidth expansion/compression ratio approaches 1, both of our schemes become optimal as their performance approaches that of the bandwidth-matched scheme of Tian et al.

In this paper, we develop a two-way multi-relay scheme for JPEG 2000 image transmission. We adopt a modified time-division broadcast cooperative protocol, and derive its power allocation and relay selection under a fairness constraint. The symbol error probability of the optimal system configuration is then derived. After that, a joint source-channel coding (JSCC) problem is formulated to find the optimal number of JPEG 2000 quality layers for the image and the number of channelcoding packets for each JPEG 2000 codeblock that can minimize the reconstructed image distortion for the two users, subject to a rate constraint. Two fast algorithms based on dynamic programming and branch and bound are then developed. Simulation demonstrates that the proposed JSCC scheme achieves better performance and lower complexity than other similar transmission systems.

We consider a set of S independent encoders that must transmit a set of correlated sources through a network of noisy, independent, broadcast channels to T receivers, with no interference at the receivers. For the general problem of sending correlated sources through broadcast networks, it is known that the source-channel separation theorem breaks down and the achievable rate region as well as the proper method of coding are unknown. For our scenario, however, we establish the optimal rate region using a form of joint source-channel coding. When the optimal channel input distribution from transmitter i to receiver j is independent of j, our result has a max-flow/min-cut interpretation. Specifically, in this case, our result implies that if it is possible to send the sources to each receiver separately while ignoring the others, then it is possible to send to all receivers simultaneously.

We consider the joint source-channel coding (JSCC) problem of 3-D stereo video transmission in video plus depth format over noisy channels. Full resolution and downsampled depth maps are considered. The proposed JSCC scheme yields the optimum color and depth quantization parameters as well as the optimum forward error correction code rates used for unequal error protection (UEP) at the packet level. Different coding scenarios are compared and the UEP gain over equal error protection is quantified for flat Rayleigh fading channels.

This paper presents a jointsourcecoding, channelcoding, and flash memory channelization design framework to obtain optimized tradeoffs among energy consumption, bit rate, and end-to-end distortion (i.e., optimal E-R-D tradeoff space) for embedded and mobile devices with limited power source and abundant flash memory storage capacity. The optimal E-R-D tradeoff space enables embedded and mobile devices to cohesively optimize the sourcecoding and data storage system operations subject to run-time power source, storage capacity, and/or distortion constraints. By treating flash memory as a communication channel, this work differs from classical joint source-channel coding from two perspectives: i) Classical joint source-channel coding aims to obtain an optimized R-D (bit rate and distortion) tradeoff space, while we aim to obtain an optimized E-R-D tradeoff space;ii) Flash memory can be configured (or channelized) over an energy consumption versus raw bit error rate tradeoff spectrum, and channelization is an integral part of the joint design. With the focus on video coding, this paper presents theoretical investigations and specific approaches for both scenarios where channel can and cannot contribute to end-to-end distortion. Based on detailed power estimation and representative video sequences, we quantitatively demonstrate the application of the proposed design approaches for obtaining optimized E-R-D tradeoff space.

Image super-resolution (SR) technology is crucial for applications such as telemedicine. Performing image SR tasks using semantic communication allows the received information to be directly applied without the need for complex operations at the receiver. However, research still grapples with the challenges of constructing a joint source-channel coding (JSCC) method that effectively extracts semantic information from LR images for reconstructing HR images, as well as reducing the unfavorable impact of the wireless channel. In this paper, we propose a deep semantic information extraction (DSIE) module for the image SR task in semantic communications. This module ingeniously integrates the advantages of convolutional neural network (CNN) and Transformer architectures and incorporates signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) to dynamically adjust the output via the channel attention mechanism. Building on DSIE, we custom-design the JSCC scheme for image SR tasks in semantic communications. Simulation results confirm the effectiveness of our proposed DSIE and show that the proposed JSCC scheme surpasses the existing DNN-based JSCC schemes and the traditional separated-sourcechannelcoding schemes.

We extend our earlier work on guessing subject to distortion to the joint source-channel coding contest. We consider a system in which there is a source connected to a destination via a channel and the goal is to reconstruct the source output at the destination within a prescribed distortion level with respect to (w.r.t) some distortion measure. The decoder is a guessing decoder in the sense that it is allowed to generate successive estimates of the source output until the distortion criterion is met, The problem is to design the encoder and the decoder so as to minimize the average number of estimates until successful reconstruction. We derive estimates on nonnegative moments of the number of guesses, which are asymptotically tight as the length of the source block: goes to infinity. Using the close relationship between guessing and sequential decoding, we give a tight lower bound to the complexity of sequential decoding in joint source-channel coding systems, complementing earlier works by Koshelev and Hellman. Another topic explored here is the probability of error for list decoders with exponential list sizes for joint source-channel coding systems, for which we obtain tight bounds as well. It is noteworthy that optimal performance w.r.t. the performance measures considered here can be achieved in a manner that separates sourcecoding and channelcoding.

A new coding scheme for image transmission over noisy channel is proposed. Similar to standard image compression, the scheme includes a linear transform followed by successive refinement scalar quantization. Unlike conventional schemes, though, in the proposed system the quantized transform coefficients are linearly mapped into channel symbols using systematic linear encoders. This fixed-to-fixed length "linear index coding" approach avoids the use of an explicit entropy coding stage (e.g., arithmetic or Huffman coding), which is typically fragile to channel post-decoding residual errors. We use linear codes over GF(4), which are particularly suited for this application, since they are matched to the dead-zone quantizer symbol alphabet and to the QPSK modulation used on the deep-space communication channel. We optimize the proposed system where the linear codes are systematic Raptor codes over GF(4). The rateless property of Raptor encoders allows to implement a "continuum" of coding rates, in order to accurately match the channelcoding rate to the transmission channel capacity and to the quantized source entropy rate for each transform subband and refinement level. Comparisons are provided with respect to the concatenation of state-of-the-art image coding and channelcoding schemes used by Jet Propulsion Laboratories (JPL) for the Mars Exploration Rover (MER) Mission.
