Multiple hierarchical image transmission over Rayleigh fading channels
Dongfeng Yuan, Bing Han, Zhigang Cao · Proceedings of SPIE, the International Society for Optical Engineering/Proceedings of SPIE · 2000
In this paper, we present a multiple hierarchical protection scheme applied in for Rayleigh fading channels using multilevel coding (MLC) system in which both capacity rule and block partitioning have been taken into account. As a result, the non-uniform set-partitioning design trades the performance of the less important data for better performance of the most important ones, and thus improves the multiple hierarchical protection ability of MLC schemes.
