“…However, the information has different importance from the view of the source coding due to the different sensitivity of the source decoder to the errors. In some systems such as wireless, EEP is not easily achievable due to the limited bandwidth; thus unequal error protection (UEP) is proposed as an efficient solution for transmitting the compressed information reliably [1][2][3][4]. One of the main contributions of UEP is basically improving the quality of the reconstructed images [5,6].…”
