In this thesis we study coding strategies for single-user block-fading channels. The block-fading channel is a simplified model of slowly varying wireless communication channels with stringent delay constraints. This model is particularly important in prac ...
This paper presents an error resilient coding scheme for atomic image bitstreams, as generated by Matching Pursuit encoders. A joint source and channel coding algorithm is proposed, that takes benefit of both the flexibility in the image representation, an ...
In this paper, an approach based on ergodic properties for classifying sequences is given. It is particularly robust due to the open loop structure of the detector. Unlike previous works in this direction, such as those concerning the inverse system approa ...
This dissertation presents a systematic exposition on finite-block-length coding theory and practice. We begin with the task of identifying the maximum achievable rates over noisy, finite-block-length constrained channels, referred to as (ε, n)-capacity Cε ...
This paper develops low-complexity adaptive receivers for space-time block-coded (STBC) transmissions over frequency-selective fading channels. The receivers are useful for equalization purposes for single user transmissions and for joint equalization and ...
A novel embedded wavelet coding scheme is proposed for the transmission of images over unreliable channels. The proposed scheme is based on the partitioning of information into a number of layers which can be decoded independently provided that some import ...

In this paper we introduce a method for analyzing the performance of coded modulation schemes based on iterated chaotic maps. In particular, it is known from coding theory that the minimum distance plays an important role, defining the behavior of the erro ...
It is well known and surprising that the uncoded transmission of an independent and identically distributed Gaussian source across an additive white Gaussian noise channel is optimal: No amount of sophistication in the coding strategy can ever perform bett ...
Sensors acquire data, and communicate this to an interested party. The arising coding problem is often split into two parts: First, the sensors compress their respective acquired signals, potentially applying the concepts of distributed source coding. Then ...
What makes a source–channel communication system optimal? It is shown that in order to achieve an optimal cost–distortion tradeoff, the source and the channel have to be matched in a probabilistic sense. The match (or lack of it) involves the source distri ...
