Combined multiresolution source coding and modulation for digital broadcast of HDTV

Combined Source Coding and Modulation for Mobile Multimedia Communication

Limits for the performance of communication systems can, in principle, be described by what is called OPTA (optimal performance theoretically attainable) curves. Approaching these limits necessitates large delays and complexities. It can be derived from Shannon's works 22, 23] that the limit can be reached by separately optimizing the source-and channel coders. For existing practical systems th...

Fair Noiseless Broadcast Source Coding

We present a noiseless source coding problem in a broadcast environment and supply a simple solution to this problem. A transmitter wishes to transmit a binary random vector to receivers, where receiver is only interested in the component A source encoding is a binary sequence which is chosen by the transmitter. The expected time at which the receiver determines (with probability one) is denote...

On combined coding and modulation

There are many people who have supported and encouraged me during these years. I would like to take this opportunity to especially acknowledge the following people for their contributions, advice and friendship. First of all, I would like to express my deep gratitude to my Doktorvater, Prof. Dr.-Ing. A. J. Han Vinck, who made this dissertation come into being. I am indebted for his constant ass...

Multiresolution Joint Source-Channel Coding for Wireless Channels

Non Linear Joint Source Channel Coding for Broadcast Channels

A novel Joint Source Channel Scheme for the two user Gaussian Broadcast channel is developed here. The scheme transmits a Bivariate Gaussian Source over a Discrete Memoryless Additive White Gaussian Noise Channel. The scheme belongs to the family of codes termed Nested Quantization. The ultimate theoretical communication limits of the Gaussian Broadcast channel are given and the different codin...
