Netscope: Practical Network Loss Tomography

Patrick Thiran, Xuan Hung Nguyen, Maciej Kurant, Denisa Gabriela Ghita

We present Netscope, a tomographic technique that infers the loss rates of network links from unicast end-to-end measurements. Netscope uses a novel combination of first- and second-order moments of end-to-end measurements to identify and characterize the ...

Polar Codes are Optimal for Lossy Source Coding

Rüdiger Urbanke, Satish Babu Korada

We consider lossy source compression of a binary symmetric source with Hamming distortion function. We show that polar codes combined with a low-complexity successive cancellation encoding algorithm achieve the rate-distortion bound. The complexity of both ...

Polar codes for channel and source coding

Satish Babu Korada

The two central topics of information theory are the compression and the transmission of data. Shannon, in his seminal work, formalized both these problems and determined their fundamental limits. Since then the main goal of coding theory has been to find ...

Error-resilient Scalable Compression based on Distributed Video Coding

Touradj Ebrahimi, Frédéric Dufaux, Mourad Ouaret

Distributed Video Coding (DVC) is a new paradigm for video compression based on the information theoretical results of Slepian-Wolf (SW) and Wyner-Ziv (WZ). In this work, a performance analysis of image and video coding schemes based on DVC are presented, ...

Source and channel coding using Fountain codes

Bertrand Ndzana Ndzana

The invention of Fountain codes is a major advance in the field of error correcting codes. The goal of this work is to study and develop algorithms for source and channel coding using a family of Fountain codes known as Raptor codes. From an asymptotic poi ...

Channel Coding for Progressive Images in a 2-D Time-Frequency OFDM Block With Channel Estimation Errors

Laura Toni

Coding and diversity are very effective techniques for improving transmission reliability in a mobile wireless environ- ment. The use of diversity is particularly important for multimedia communications over fading channels. In this work, we study the tran ...

On the Structure of the Capacity Region of Asynchronous Memoryless Multiple-Access Channels

Bixio Rimoldi, Ninoslav Marina

The asynchronous capacity region of memoryless multiple-access channels is the union of certain polytopes. It is well-known that vertices of such polytopes may be ap- proached via a technique called successive decoding. It is also known that an extension o ...

Selected topics on distributed video coding

Mourad Ouaret

Distributed Video Coding (DVC) is a new paradigm for video compression based on the information theoretical results of Slepian and Wolf (SW), and Wyner and Ziv (WZ). While conventional coding has a rigid complexity allocation as most of the complex tasks a ...

Cooperative media streaming using adaptive network compression

Tom Larsen

Media content distribution constitutes a growing share of the services on the Internet. Two distinct distribution approaches used today are Layered Coding (LC) and Multiple Description Coding (MDC). Current wireless connection technologies, e.g. Wimax, hav ...
