Source fidelity over fading channels: performance of erasure and scalable codes

We consider the transmission of a Gaussian source through a block fading channel. Assuming each block is decoded independently, the received distortion depends on the tradeoff between quantization accuracy and probability of outage. Namely, higher quantization accuracy requires a higher channel code...

Popis
Shrnutí:	We consider the transmission of a Gaussian source through a block fading channel. Assuming each block is decoded independently, the received distortion depends on the tradeoff between quantization accuracy and probability of outage. Namely, higher quantization accuracy requires a higher channel code rate, which increases the probability of outage. We first treat an outage as an erasure, and evaluate the received mean distortion with erasure coding across blocks as a function of the code length. We then evaluate the performance of scalable, or multi-resolution coding in which coded layers are superimposed within a coherence block, and the layers are sequentially decoded. Both the rate and power allocated to each layer are optimized. In addition to analyzing the performance with a finite number of layers, we evaluate the mean distortion at high signal-to-noise ratios as the number of layers becomes infinite. As the block length of the erasure code increases to infinity, the received distortion converges to a deterministic limit, which is less than the mean distortion with an infinite-layer scalable coding scheme. However, for the same standard deviation in received distortion, infinite layer scalable coding performs slightly better than erasure coding, and with much less decoding delay.
