Error Protection and Interleaving for Wireless Transmission of JPEG 2000 Images and Video

The transmission of JPEG 2000 images or video over wireless channels has to cope with the high probability and burstyness of errors introduced by Gaussian noise, linear distortions, and fading. At the receiver side, there is distortion due to the compression performed at the sender side, and to the errors introduced in the data stream by the channel. Progressive source coding can also be successfully exploited to protect different portions of the data stream with different channel code rates, based upon the relative importance that each portion has on the reconstructed image. Unequal error protection (UEP) schemes are generally adopted, which offer a close to the optimal solution. In this paper, we present a dichotomic technique for searching the optimal UEP strategy, which lends ideas from existing algorithms, for the transmission of JPEG 2000 images and video over a wireless channel. Moreover, we also adopt a method of virtual interleaving to be used for the transmission of high bit rate streams over packet loss channels, guaranteeing a large PSNR advantage over a plain transmission scheme. These two protection strategies can also be combined to maximize the error correction capabilities.     

Joint source/channel coding for image transmission with JPEG2000 over memoryless channels.

The high compression efficiency and various features provided by JPEG2000 make it attractive for image transmission purposes. A novel joint source/channel coding scheme tailored for JPEG2000 is proposed in this paper to minimize the end-to-end image distortion within a given total transmission rate through memoryless channels. It provides unequal error protection by combining the forward error correction capability from channel codes and the error detection/localization functionality from JPEG2000 in an effective way. The proposed scheme generates quality scalable and error-resilient codestreams. It gives competitive performance with other existing schemes for JPEG2000 in the matched channel condition case and provides more graceful quality degradation for mismatched cases. Furthermore, both fixed-length source packets and fixed-length channel packets can be efficiently formed with the same algorithm.     

A power-based unequal error protection system for digital cinema broadcasting over wireless channels

This paper deals with the efficient and robust wireless broadcasting of JPEG2000 digital cinema (DC) streams from studios to theatres. Several unequal error protection (UEP) techniques have been proposed in literature for the transmission of JPEG2000 images. Some are based on variable forward error correction (FEC) coding applied to different parts of the stream according to their importance. Alternatively, UEP can be achieved by means of unequal power allocation (UPA) schemes based on differentiated transmission power over the stream. On the other hand, in DC applications UPA achieves weak performance if considered as the only protection strategy, unless high-power budget is assigned to transmission. This work proposes a novel hybrid FEC–UPA system adopting the resilience tools of the JPEG2000 wireless (JPWL) standard. The JPWL stream is partitioned into a certain number of packet groups to which “light” FEC coding is applied. Groups are then transmitted through separate wavelet packet division multiplexing (WPDM) sub-channels at different power. Both stream partitioning and UPA are driven by the sensibilities of the JPWL packets to the channel errors. The novelty of the proposed technique relies on the use of JPWL error resilience tools for the codestream partitioning, on optimized UPA among JPWL packets based on genetic algorithms (GA) and supported by “light” FEC channel coding. The proposed system is compared to the state of the art UEP techniques on JPEG2000 transmission. The performance is evaluated in case of transmission over wireless channels with both sparse and packet error statistics. Experiments show that the proposed approach allows achieving an average peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) on the reconstructed frames compliant to the standard quality required by DC applications (40 dB) for bit error rate (BER) up to 10⁻⁴.     

Unequal Error Protection Using Partially Regular LDPC Codes

In this paper, we propose a scheme to construct low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes that are suitable for unequal error protection (UEP). We derive density evolution (DE) formulas for the proposed unequal error protecting LDPC ensembles over the binary erasure channel (BEC). Using the DE formulas, we optimize the codes. For the finite-length cases, we compare our codes with some other LDPC codes, the time-sharing method, and a previous work on UEP using LDPC codes. Simulation results indicate the superiority of the proposed design methodology for UEP

Rateless Codes With Unequal Error Protection Property

In this correspondence, a generalization of rateless codes is proposed. The proposed codes provide unequal error protection (UEP). The asymptotic properties of these codes under the iterative decoding are investigated. Moreover, upper and lower bounds on maximum-likelihood (ML) decoding error probabilities of finite-length LT and Raptor codes for both equal and unequal error protection schemes are derived. Further, our work is verified with simulations. Simulation results indicate that the proposed codes provide desirable UEP. We also note that the UEP property does not impose a considerable drawback on the overall performance of the codes. Moreover, we discuss that the proposed codes can provide unequal recovery time (URT). This means that given a target bit error rate, different parts of information bits can be decoded after receiving different amounts of encoded bits. This implies that the information bits can be recovered in a progressive manner. This URT property may be used for sequential data recovery in video/audio streaming     

Robust JPEG image transmission using unequal error protection and code combining

JPEG image transmission over noisy channels is highly problematic due to the sensitivity of the JPEG bit stream to error propagation. The use of resynchronization markers and channel coding do not alleviate the problem completely thus making retransmissions inevitable. In packetized image transmission, image packets are repeated n times, to ensure reliable transmission. This paper proposes a new unequal error protection (UEP) scheme which jointly optimizes the allocation of channel code rates and number of repeats to image packets, subject to a constraint on the maximum overall transmission rate. The coding scheme used is the rate compatible punctured convolutional code coupled with the code‐combining technique. An unequal allocation of headers to the image packets is also performed in order to reduce the overall distortion due to error propagation. Simulation results show that the proposed UEP scheme provides a gain of more than 8 dB in peak‐to‐peak signal‐to‐noise ratio over a tandem scheme. The flexibility of the proposed scheme, and the major performance gains obtained, make the scheme appealing for applications like, web‐based image browsing, multi‐hop networks, and wireless image transmission.

Turbo Coded Modulation for Unequal Error Protection

A major concern in designing communication systems is to maintain quality of service for a wide range of channel conditions. This is an important issue particularly for the applications where precise characterization of the channel is impossible. For such applications, the source data can be classified into several classes and Unequal Error Protection (UEP) can be used to effectively protect the more important classes even in poor receiving conditions. This paper is focused on the study, design, and performance evaluation of unequal error protecting turbo coded modulation schemes. We first propose several schemes for unequal error protecting using turbo coded modulation. All these schemes provide high performance gains for more important classes that can hardly be achieved using conventional coded modulation schemes. We then study unequal error protecting turbo coded modulation schemes by deriving channel capacity and cutoff rates for different protection levels. We show that for more important classes more room is available for improvement.
