Joint source-channel coding for motion-compensated DCT-based SNR scalable video

In this paper, we develop an approach toward joint source-channel coding for motion-compensated DCT-based scalable video coding and transmission. A framework for the optimal selection of the source and channel coding rates over all scalable layers is presented such that the overall distortion is minimized. The algorithm utilizes universal rate distortion characteristics which are obtained experimentally and show the sensitivity of the source encoder and decoder to channel errors. The proposed algorithm allocates the available bit rate between scalable layers and, within each layer, between source and channel coding. We present the results of this rate allocation algorithm for video transmission over a wireless channel using the H.263 Version 2 signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) scalable codec for source coding and rate-compatible punctured convolutional (RCPC) codes for channel coding. We discuss the performance of the algorithm with respect to the channel conditions, coding methodologies, layer rates, and number of layers.     

Cross-layer optimization for video transmission over multirate GMC-CDMA wireless links.

In this paper, we consider the problem of video transmission over wireless generalized multicarrier code division multiple access (GMC-CDMA) systems. Such systems offer deterministic elimination of multiple access interference. A scalable video source codec is used and a multirate setup is assumed, i.e., each video user is allowed to occupy more than one GMC-CDMA channels. Furthermore, each of these channels can utilize a different number of subcarriers. We propose a cross-layer optimization method to select the source coding rate, channel coding rate, number of subcarriers per GMC-CDMA channel and transmission power per GMC-CDMA channel given a maximum transmission power for each video user and an available chip rate. Universal rate distortion characteristics (URDC) are used to approximate the expected distortion at the receiver. The proposed algorithm is optimal in the operational rate distortion sense, subject to the specific setup used and the approximation caused by the use of the URDC. Experimental results are presented and conclusions are drawn.

Joint Source-Channel Distortion Modeling for MPEG-4 Video

Multimedia communication has become one of the main applications in commercial wireless systems. Multimedia sources, mainly consisting of digital images and videos, have high bandwidth requirements. Since bandwidth is a valuable resource, it is important that its use should be optimized for image and video communication. Therefore, interest in developing new joint source-channel coding (JSCC) methods for image and video communication is increasing. Design of any JSCC scheme requires an estimate of the distortion at different source coding rates and under different channel conditions. The common approach to obtain this estimate is via simulations or operational rate-distortion curves. These approaches, however, are computationally intensive and, hence, not feasible for real-time coding and transmission applications. A more feasible approach to estimate distortion is to develop models that predict distortion at different source coding rates and under different channel conditions. Based on this idea, we present a distortion model for estimating the distortion due to quantization and channel errors in MPEG-4 compressed video streams at different source coding rates and channel bit error rates. This model takes into account important aspects of video compression such as transform coding, motion compensation, and variable length coding. Results show that our model estimates distortion within 1.5 dB of actual simulation values in terms of peak-signal-to-noise ratio.      

自适应帧内更新和码率控制的联合优化

帧内更新是在视频编码中常采用的容错手段,它能够有效的阻止差错传播。帧内更新率高,能够有效的抑制差错扩散,但是会降低编码效率,在码率一定时,会增大信源失真。只有选择合适的更新率,才能更好的达到抗差错的目的。本文提出了一种基于端到端模型,对自适应更新和码率控制进行联合优化的算法,在满足码率的要求下,自适应的调整帧内更新位置和更新数量,实现端到端失真最小。实验结果表明,本文提出的算法与随机更新算法相比,PSNR提高了0．5～1．5dB。     

Adaptive source-channel subband video coding for wireless channels

This paper presents a general framework for combined source-channel coding within the context of subband coding. The unequal importance of subbands in reconstruction of the source is exploited by an appropriate allocation of source and channel coding rates for the coding and transmission of subbands over a noisy channel. For each subband, the source coding rate as well as the level of protection (quantified by the channel coding rate) are jointly chosen to minimize the total end-to-end mean-squared distortion suffered by the source. This allocation of source and channel coding rates is posed as a constrained optimization problem, and solved using a generalized bit allocation algorithm. The optimal choice of source and channel coding rates depends on the state of the physical channel. These results are extended to transmission over fading channels using a finite state model, where every state corresponds to an additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel. A coding strategy is also developed that minimizes the average distortion when the channel state is unavailable at the transmitter. Experimental results are provided that demonstrate application of these combined source-channel coding strategies on video sequences     

Unequal error protection for MPEG-2 video transmission over wireless channels

This paper proposes an unequal error protection (UEP) method for MPEG-2 video transmission. Since the source and channel coders are normally concatenated, if the channel is noisy, more bits are allocated to channel coding and fewer to source coding. The situation is reversed when the channel conditions are more benign. Most of the joint source channel coding (JSCC) methods assume that the video source is subband coded, the bit error sensitivity of the source code can be modeled, and the bit allocations for different subband channels will be calculated. The UEP applied to different subbands is the rate compatible punctured convolution channel coder. However, the MPEG-2 coding is not a subband coding, the bit error sensitivity function for the coded video can no longer be applied. Here, we develop a different method to find the rate-distortion functions for JSCC of the MPEG-2 video. In the experiments, we show that the end-to-end distortion of our UEP method is smaller than the equal error protection method for the same total bit-rate.
