Optimal Unequal Error Protection with User Cooperation for Transmission of Embedded Source-Coded Images
This paper studies the transmission of images encoded using an embedded source encoder over a wireless network allowing user cooperation. A dynamic programming algorithm is applied to optimally allocate to each source coded packet error protection in the form of a choice of channel code and a decision on the use of cooperation. The results show that for degraded source-destination channels, the use of user cooperation on all source coded packets significantly improves the reconstructed quality. As the source-destination channel improves the optimal policy becomes a hybrid that uses user cooperation only for the most important source packets. When the source destination channel is sufficiently good, all source packets are sent without cooperation. Thus, a test is presented to estimate the channels states when cooperation is first used.
