Mismatched Decoding Reliability Function at Zero Rate

Marco Bondaschi

We derive an upper bound on the reliability function of mismatched decoding for zero-rate codes. The bound is based on a result by Komlos that shows the existence of a subcode with certain symmetry properties. The bound is shown to coincide with the expurg ...

Near-Optimal Finite-Length Scaling for Polar Codes Over Large Alphabets

Rüdiger Urbanke, Henry Pfister

For any prime power q, Mori and Tanaka introduced a family of q-ary polar codes based on the q x q Reed-Solomon polarization kernels. For transmission over a q-ary erasure channel, they also derived a closed-form recursion for the erasure probability of ea ...

A New Coding Paradigm for the Primitive Relay Channel

Rüdiger Urbanke, Seyed Hamed Hassani, Marco Mondelli

We present a coding paradigm that provides a new achievable rate for the primitive relay channel by combining compress-and-forward and decode-and-forward with a chaining construction. In the primitive relay channel model, the source broadcasts a message to ...

Delay-Power-Rate-Distortion Optimization of Video Representations for Dynamic Adaptive Streaming

Pascal Frossard, Laura Toni, Chenglin Li

Dynamic adaptive streaming addresses user heterogeneity by providing multiple encoded representations at different rates and/or resolutions for the same video content. For delay-sensitive applications, such as live streaming, there is however a stringent r ...

Incremental Syllable-Context Phonetic Vocoding

Petr Motlicek, Philip Neil Garner, Milos Cernak

Current very low bit rate speech coders are, due to complexity limitations, designed to work off-line. This paper investigates incremental speech coding that operates real-time and incrementally (i.e., encoded speech depends only on already-uttered speech ...
