Novel UEP Product Code Scheme with Protograph-Based Linear Permutation and Iterative Decoding for Scalable Image Transmission

This paper introduces a linear permutation module before the inner encoder of the iteratively decoded product coding structure, for the transmission of scalable bitstreams over error-prone channels1.1.A longer version [1] of this work has been submitted to IEEE Transactions on Communications.. This can improve the error correction ability of the inner code when some source bits are known from the preceding outer code decoding stages. The …
