This thesis aims at proposing and implementing efficient joint source-channel coding and
decoding schemes in order to enhance the robustness of multimedia contents transmitted …

The development of multimedia broadcasting and on-demand services for mobile devices,
such as tablets or smartphones, involves the transmission of contents over heterogeneous …

Treats joint source and channel decoding in an integrated way Gives a clear description of
the problems in the field together with the mathematical tools for their solution Contains …

Joint source-channel decoding of variable length codes for image and video streaming
transmission over unreliable links, such as wireless networks, is a subject of increasing …

We first provide an analysis of available redundancy remaining in compressed video data.
This residual redundancy has two origins: the variable-length code (VLC) syntax and the …

This paper reviews a number of di erent approaches aiming at introducing some robustness
into source coders/decoders when the coded bit-stream is to be sent through a noisy …

Tandem coding and decoding has been demonstrated to yield arbitrarily low error rates
provided a sufficiently large block length is used. When applied to practical systems that are …

We propose a joint source-channel coding scheme, developed for video sequences, which
consists of a vector quantization based on lattice constellations and a linear labelling …

We study joint source-channel coding systems for the transmission of images over varying
channels without feedback. We consider the situation where the channel statistics are …

An efficient approach for joint source and channel coding is presented. The proposed
approach exploits the joint optimization of a wavelet-based scalable video coding framework …
