List Ordered Statistics Decoders for Polar Codes

Andreas Peter Burg, Chuan Zhang, Yifei Shen

The de-facto standard decoding algorithm for polar codes, successive cancellation list (SCL) decoding, is a breadth-first search algorithm. By keeping a list of candidate codewords, SCL decoding improves the performance as the list size L increases. Howeve ...

Cross-Packet Coding for Delay-Constrained Streaming Applications

Dario Floreano, Giuseppe Cocco

Delay-constrained streaming from a moving platform is of paramount importance for applications such as the remote control of drones, where a low-delay video stream is required in order to provide visual feedback to the pilot while providing high quality vi ...

LDPC Coded Multiuser Shaping for the Gaussian Multiple Access Channel

Alexios Konstantinos Balatsoukas Stimming

The joint design of input constellation and low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes to approach the symmetric capacity of the two-user Gaussian multiple access channel is studied. More specifically, multilevel coding is employed at each user to construct a h ...

A New Coding Paradigm for the Primitive Relay Channel

Rüdiger Urbanke, Seyed Hamed Hassani, Marco Mondelli

We consider the primitive relay channel, where the source sends a message to the relay and to the destination, and the relay helps the communication by transmitting an additional message to the destination via a separate channel. Two well-known coding tech ...

From LDPC Block to LDPC Convolutional Codes: Capacity, Stability, and Universality

Wei Liu

In his landmark paper "A Mathematical Theory of Communication," the founding father of information theory and coding theory, Claude E. Shannon, established the largest rate at which reliable communication is possible and he revealed that the key to this re ...

Machine Learning-Based Quality-Aware Power and Thermal Management of Multistream HEVC Encoding on Multicore Servers

David Atienza Alonso, Marina Zapater Sancho, Arman Iranfar

The emergence of video streaming applications, together with the users’ demand for high-resolution contents, has led to the development of new video coding standards, such as High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC). HEVC provides high efficiency at the cost of ...

Object Shape Approximation and Contour Adaptive Depth Image Coding for Virtual View Synthesis

Pascal Frossard, Yuan Yuan

A depth image provides partial geometric information of a 3D scene, namely the shapes of physical objects as observed from a particular viewpoint. This information is important when synthesizing images of different virtual camera viewpoints via depth-image ...

Optimal Lagrange Multipliers for Dependent Rate Allocation in Video Coding

Pascal Frossard, Ana Karina De Abreu Goes

In a typical video rate allocation problem, the objective is to optimally distribute a source rate budget among a set of (in)dependently coded data units to minimize the total distortion. Conventional Lagrangian approaches convert the lone rate constraint ...

Hybrid Coding Scheme for Brillouin Optical Time-domain Analysis Based on Golay and Differential Pulses

Luc Thévenaz, Marcelo Alfonso Soto Hernandez, Zhisheng Yang, Zonglei Li

A hybrid Golay coding method based on differential pulse-pair sequences is proposed for distributed Brillouin sensing. The method provides 1.5 dB signal-to-noise ratio improvement over unipolar Golay with halved measurement time, securing high spatial reso ...

Polarization and Channel Ordering: Characterizations and Topological Structures

Rajai Nasser

Information theory is the field in which we study the fundamental limitations of communication. Shannon proved in 1948 that there exists a maximum rate, called capacity, at which we can reliably communicate information through a given channel. However, Sha ...

Encoder-Driven Inpainting Strategy in Multiview Video Compression

Pascal Frossard, Thomas Maugey, Yu Gao

In free viewpoint video systems, where a user has the freedom to select a virtual view from which an observation image of the 3D scene is rendered, the scene is commonly represented by texture and depth images from multiple nearby viewpoints. In such repre ...

Temporal and Inter-view Consistent Error Concealment Technique for Multiview plus Depth Video Broadcasting

Pascal Frossard, Thomas Maugey

Multiview plus depth (MVD) is an emerging video format with many applications, including 3-D television and free viewpoint television. During the broadcast of a compressed MVD video, transmission errors may cause the loss of whole frames, resulting in sign ...

Reference view selection in DIBR-based multiview coding

Pascal Frossard, Thomas Maugey

Augmented reality, interactive navigation in 3D scenes, multiview video, and other emerging multimedia applications require large sets of images, hence larger data volumes and increased resources compared with traditional video services. The significant in ...

H2B2VS (HEVC Hybrid Broadcast Broadband Video Services) – building innovative solutions over hybrid networks

Claudio Paolo Alberti

Broadcast and broadband networks continue to be separate worlds in the video consumption business. Some initiatives such as HbbTV have built a bridge between both worlds, but its application is almost limited to providing links over the broadcast channel t ...

A joint typicality approach to compute-forward

Michael Christoph Gastpar, Sung Hoon Lim, Chen Feng

A general framework for analyzing linear codes with joint typicality encoders and decoders is presented. Using this approach, we provide a new perspective on the compute-forward framework. In particular, an achievable rate region for computing the weighted ...
