The study of Joint Source-Channel Coding (JSCC) systems faces one major challenge in obtaining an analytical expression for the function that links end-to-end distortion with chann...
A novel hybrid genetic algorithm (GA) for jointly optimizing source and channel codes is presented in this paper. The algorithm first uses GA for the coarse search of source and ch...
A channel code allocation scheme is developed for transmission of video over error-prone channels. The system is designed to minimize the expected distortion of the video under a ...
We present a joint PHY/MAC architecture (DCC-MAC) for 802.15.4a-like networks based on PPM-UWB. Unlike traditional approaches it fully utilizes the specific nature of UWB to achie...

Abstract--Achievable distortion bounds are derived for the cascade of structured families of binary linear channel codes and binary lattice vector quantizers. It is known that for ...
