Trellis-coded quantization for binary erasure channels
Liuyang Yang, T.R. Fischer · IEEE Transactions on Information Theory · 1999
Trellis-coded quantizers (TCQ) are designed for the binary erasure channel (BEC) for memoryless sources. When the bit erasure rate is large, the channel-optimized TCQ can provide up to 1.4 dB improvement over TCQ designed for a lossless channel.
