Inspired by a recently proposedconstructive framework for the distributed source coding problem [1], we propose a powerful constructive approach to the watermarking problem, emphasizing the dual roles of distributed source coding with side information at the decoder and channel coding with side information at the encoder. In our framework, we explore various source and channel codes to close th...

In digital mobile communications efficient compression algorithms are needed to encode speech or audio signals. As the determined source parameters are highly sensitive to transmission errors, robust source and channel decoding schemes are required. This contribution deals with an iterative source-channel decoding approach where a simple channel decoder and a softbit-source decoder are concaten...

An error-resilient coding scheme is proposed for the transmission of images over unreliable channels. Forward Error Correction is used in conjunction with the error-resilient source coder for the protection of the compressed stream. Unlike almost all other robust coding schemes presented todate, the proposed scheme is able to decode portions of the bitstream even after the occurrence of uncorre...
