Nonbinary Convolutional Coding For Multimedia Data Transmission
Merin Savaş · 2009
In this thesis, the performance of nonbinary convolutional coding technique is investigated and new nonbinary codes with better performance are proposed. Nonbinary convolutional coding technique is a coding technique which is similar to the binary convolutional codes with the same decoding strategy but they are designed for general nonbinary sources. The nonbinary convolutional coding technique is described and simulated under various channel conditions. Synthetic nonbinary source sequences are produced by using Markov processes. The channels used in the experimental simulations include additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) and flat fading channel models. Coded image and video sequences are transmitted over the channels by using binary phase shift keying
