Balanced Convolutional Source and Channel Coding.
Abstract
A convolutional source coding technique, which is the dual of the well-known maximum likelihood convolutional channel decoding algorithm, has been analyzed and its performance bounded in terms of the rate-distortion function. The source encoder is equivalent to a channel (trellis) decoder, while the source decoder is equivalent to a channel (shift register) encoder. Thus the complexity of the source encoder balances the simplicity of the channel encoder, while the simplicity of the source decoder balances the complexity of the channel decoder. Consequently, the transmitting and receiving terminals are almost symmetrical. (Modified author abstract)
