Joint source channel coding (JSCC) is an effective method which trade off the efficiency and the quality of the video transmission. In this paper, a new ratequality (R-Q) model is first proposed to represent the coding characteristics of H.264 instead of ratedistortion (R-D) model. Then, the end-to-end video transmission distortion is analyzed and an adaptive JSCC over wireless channel based on the R-Q model of the H.264 and the error protection characteristics of the Turbo code is proposed, which can optimize the rate allocation of the available network bandwidth between source coding and channel coding accordingto the current status of the wireless channels, so as to improve the robustness. The experiment results indicate that, compared with the scheme using the fixed channel coding rate, under the same channel conditions, our proposed JSCC scheme can greatly improve the transmission robustness and achieve better reconstructed video quality at the receiver.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
