This paper proposes a method to optimize the performance of tandem source–channel coding with respect to the mean-squared error by exploiting the unequal error protection coding...
The multi-layer bit-wise unequal error protection problem is considered for variable length block codes with feedback. Inner and outer bounds are derived for achievable performanc...

In this paper, we introduce an analytical expression for the expected distortion of a single layer encoded video bit-stream. Based on the expected distortion model, we propose a d...
In this paper we formally analyze the interleaver and code design for QAM-based BICM transmissions using the binary reflected Gray code. We develop analytical bounds on the bit e...

One of the envisioned advantages of scalable video coding is its inherent suitability for achieving unequal error protection (UEP). UEP can be effectively used for graceful qualit...
Diversity-Embedding Space-Time Block Coding (DE-STBC), introduced in [1], enables Unequal Error Protection (UEP) using multiple transmit antennas. Even though these codes do not re...
Opportunistic space-time block codes (STBC) have been investigated for flat-fading channels in the literature. In this paper, we present a novel scheme for integrating them with or...
In multimedia communication systems, channel bandwidth and probability of error are the two main limitations that affect the quality of service. Therefore, in applications such as...
Various scenarios are considered where some information is more important than other and needs better protection. A general theoretical framework for unequal error protection is d...
