In this paper, to achieve an unequal message protection (UMP), we propose a type-aware coding approach. The proposed approach can be used to construct a UMP code with multiple classes of messages, and can also be employed as a finite-length joint source-channel coding (JSCC) where the source statistics is not required at the transmitter. At the transmitter, an information bit sequence is first encoded using a fixed-to-fixed-length type-aware description and then encoded by a given linear block code along with a "free-ride "approach. At the receiver, a type-search decoding algorithm is employed. Numerical results show that, 1) As a UMP coding, the type-aware coding can provide more protection for biased binary sequences;2) As a finite-length JSCC, the type-aware coding can improve the average error performance for biased sources over the distribution-aware decoding.

A robust progressive image transmission scheme over broadband wireless fading channels is developed for 4th generation wireless communication systems (4G) in this paper. The proposed scheme is based on space-time block coded orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) with 4 transmit antennas and 2 receive antennas and uses a simplified minimum mean square error (MMSE) detector instead of maximum likelihood (ML) detectors. Considering DCT is simpler and more widely applied in the industry than wavelet transforms, a progressive image compression method based on DCT called mean-subtract embedded DCT (MSEDCT) is developed, with a simple mean-subtract method for the redundancy of reorganized DC blocks in addition to a structure similar to the embedded zerotree wavelet coding (EZW) method. Then after analyzing and testing bit importance of the progressive MSEDCT bitstreams, the layered unequal error protection method of jointsource-channels coding based on Reed-Solomon (RS) codes is used to protect different parts of bitstreams, providing different QoS assurances and good flexibility. Simulation experiments show our proposed scheme can effectively degrade fading effects and obtain better image transmission effects with 10 -20 dB average peak-sig- nal-noise-ratio (PSNR) gains at the median Eb/No than those schemes without space-time coded OFDM or equal error protections with space-time coded OFDM.

In order to prove a key result for their development (Lemma 2), Taubman and Thic need the assumption that the upper boundary of the convex hull of the channelcoding probability-redundancy characteristic is sufficiently dense. Since a floor value for the density level for which the claim to hold is not specified, it is not clear whether their lemma applies to practical situations. In this correspondence, we show that the constraint of sufficient density can be removed, and, thus, we validate the conclusion of the lemma for any scenario encountered in practice.

We introduce a definition of perfect and quasi-perfect codes for discrete symmetric channels based on the packing and covering properties of generalized spheres whose shape is tilted using an auxiliary probability measure. This notion generalizes previous definitions of perfect and quasi-perfect codes and encompasses maximum distance separable codes. The error probability of these codes, whenever they exist, is shown to coincide with the estimate provided by the meta-converse lower bound. We illustrate how the proposed definition naturally extends to cover almost-lossless source-channelcoding and lossy compression.

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.

In multi-terminal networks, feedback increases the capacity region and helps communication devices to coordinate. In this article, we deepen the relationship between coordination and feedback by considering a point-to-point scenario with an information source and a noisy channel. Empirical coordination is achievable if the encoder and the decoder can implement sequences of symbols that are jointly typical for a target probability distribution. We investigate the impact of feedback when the encoder has strictly causal or causal observation of the source symbols. For both cases, we characterize the optimal information constraints and we show that feedback improves coordination possibilities. Surprisingly, feedback also reduces the number of auxiliary random variables and simplifies the information constraints. For empirical coordination with strictly causal encoding and feedback, the information constraint does not involve auxiliary random variable anymore.

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 state estimation with wireless sensors communicating over unreliable bandwidth-limited networks. Specifically, we consider so-called smart sensors equipped with simple processing units, which enable predictive coding at the sensor side, to meet the bandwidth constraint. While predictive coding significantly reduces the bit-rate by removing temporal redundancies, it exacerbates the impact of packet loss, due to error propagation through the prediction loop, potentially causing significant degradation of the reconstructed signal. To fully account for and control the conflict between coding efficiency and robustness to packet loss, we propose a coding approach that explicitly optimizes the tradeoff between rate and end-to-end distortion (EED). The proposed method determines optimal switching decisions between available coding modes, offering different compression-robustness operating points, based on EED that is optimally estimated at the encoder (sensor), in order to realize the best rate-distortion tradeoff. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed approach achieves considerable gains in signal-to-noise ratio for state estimation over lossy sensor networks.

We consider the broadcasting of a scalar memoryless Gaussian source over a two-user Gaussian broadcast channel with bandwidth expansion. In concurrent with the source description, a message that should be decoded reliably just by the "higher quality" user is sent. Conditioned on the message rate, we derive a necessary condition for the achievability of a mean-squared-error distortion pair at the two receivers, which extends the Reznic-Feder-Zamir bound. This necessary condition and a sufficient condition that we derive establish the set of achievable energy-distortion exponents for this setting.
