Abstract
As the demands of multimedia and data services increase, efficient communication systems are being investigated to meet the high data rate requirements. Joint source-channel coding (JSCC) schemes were proposed for improving overall system performance. However, existing JSCC systems may suffer a symbol error rate (SER) performance loss when residual source redundancy is not fully exploited. This paper presents a novel, low-complexity JSCC system, which consists of a fixed-length source block code and an irregular convolutional channel code. A simple approach is proposed to design source codes that minimize the SER of source detection and guarantee the convergence of iterative source-channel decoding (ISCD). To improve the waterfall performance of ISCD, the channel code is optimized by using the extrinsic information transfer (EXIT) chart and the concept of irregular code. The channel code is constituted by recursive non-systematic convolutional (RNSC) subcodes. The weights of subcodes are optimized to make the EXIT curves of the channel decoder and the source decoder well-matched, and therefore, a near-capacity performance is achieved. Simulation results show that the proposed system achieves more than 1 dB gains and 0.3 dB gains compared to the separate source-channel code system and the other optimal JSCC systems, respectively. Additionally, the performance of the proposed system is within 1 dB deviation from the Shannon limit capacity.
