Description/Abstract

Abstract—In this tutorial, a unified treatment of the topic of near capacity multimedia communication systems is offered, where we focus our attention not only on source and channel coding but also on their iterative decoding and transmission schemes. There is a paucity of up-to-date surveys and review articles on the unified treatment of the topic of near capcity multimedia communication systems using iterative detection aided joint source-channel decoding employing sophisticated transmission techniques - even though there is a plethora of papers on both iterative detection and video telephony. Hence this paper aims to fill the related gap in the literature. Index Terms—Multimedia communications, H.264 video transmission, joint source-coding and channel coding, iterative detection, near-capacity wireless communications, EXIT charts, irregular channel codes, video standards.
