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 ...

Communication Versus Computation: Duality for Multiple-Access Channels and Source Coding

Michael Christoph Gastpar, Jingge Zhu, Sung Hoon Lim

Computation codes in network information theory are designed for scenarios where the decoder is not interested in recovering the information sources themselves, but only a function thereof. Körner and Marton showed for distributed source coding (DSC) that ...

A Joint Typicality Approach to Compute–Forward

Michael Christoph Gastpar, Adriano Pastore, Sung Hoon Lim, Chen Feng

This paper presents a joint typicality framework for encoding and decoding nested linear codes in multi-user networks. This framework provides a new perspective on compute–forward within the context of discrete memoryless networks. In particular, it establ ...

PolarBear: A 28-nm FD-SOI ASIC for Decoding of Polar Codes

Andreas Peter Burg, Alexios Konstantinos Balatsoukas Stimming, Andrea Bonetti, Thomas Christoph Müller, Pascal Giard

Polar codes are a recently proposed class of block codes that provably achieve the capacity of various communication channels. They received a lot of attention as they can do so with low-complexity encoding and decoding algorithms, and they have an explici ...

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 ...

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 ...

ECMA-407: New Approaches to 3D Audio Content Data Rate Reduction with RVC-CAL

Marco Mattavelli, Claudio Paolo Alberti, Junaid Jameel Ahmad

Inverse problems have only been known in spatial audio for a very short time; their only solution, called "inverse coding" in literature, is essentially based on time-level modeling. Inverse problems, however, unlike parametric coding, require only an init ...

EXIT-based Side Information Refinement in Wyner-Ziv Video Coding

Pascal Frossard, Yiqiang Chen

The accuracy of the side information (SI) is critical in the performance of distributed video coding algorithms. The SI is typically built at a decoder based on the reconstructed data and on channel coding parity bits transmitted by the encoder. The optima ...

Exploring MPEG HEVC decoder parallelism for the efficient porting onto many-core platforms

Marco Mattavelli, Claudio Paolo Alberti, Simone Casale Brunet, Damien Jack De Saint Jorre

MPEG High Efficient Video Coding (HEVC) is likely to emerge as the video coding standard for HD and Ultra-HD TV resolutions. The two elements that push HEVC beyond the previous standards are a higher compression efficiency of about a factor of two, and the ...

Depth-based multiview distributed video coding

Thomas Maugey

Multiview distributed video coding (DVC) has gained much attention in the last few years because of its potential in avoiding communication between cameras without decreasing the coding performance. However, the current results are not matching the expecta ...

Luminance coding in graph-based representation of multiview images

Pascal Frossard, Thomas Maugey

Multi-view video transmission poses great challenges because of its data size and dimension. Therefore, how to design efficient 3D scene representations and coding (of luminance and geometry) has become a critical research topic. Recently, the graph-based ...

Calculation of average coding efficiency based on subjective quality scores

Touradj Ebrahimi, Philippe Hanhart

The Bjøntegaard model is widely used to calculate the coding efficiency between different codecs. However, this model might not be an accurate predictor of the true coding efficiency as it relies on PSNR measurements. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a ...

XOR-Based Encoding With Instantaneous Decoding for the Broadcast Erasure Channel With Feedback: The Three-User Case

We study the case of a three-user broadcast erasure channel with multiple unicast traffic sessions, where feedback from the users is fed back to the transmitter in the form of positive acknowledgment (ACK)/negative acknowledgment (NACK) messages. The capac ...
