商品描述

An uncoded multimedia transmission (UMT) system is one that skips quantization and entropy coding in compression and all subsequent binary operations, including channel coding and bit-to-symbol mapping of modulation. By directly transmitting non-binary symbols with amplitude modulation, the uncoded system avoids the annoying cliff effect observed in the coded transmission system. This advantage makes uncoded transmission more suited to both unicast in varying channel conditions and multicast to heterogeneous users.

Particularly, in the first part of Uncoded Multimedia Transmission, we consider how to improve the efficiency of uncoded transmission and make it on par with coded transmission. We then address issues and challenges regarding how to better utilize temporal and spatial correlation of images and video in the uncoded transmission, to achieve the optimal transmission performance. Next, we investigate the resource allocation problem for uncoded transmission, including subchannel, bandwidth and power allocation. By properly allocating these resources, uncoded transmission can achieve higher efficiency and more robust performance. Subsequently, we consider the image and video delivery in MIMO broadcasting networks with diverse channel quality and varying numbers of antennas across receivers. Finally, we investigate the cases where uncoded transmission can be used in conjunction with digital transmission for a balanced efficiency and adaptation capability.

This book is the very first monograph in the general area of uncoded multimedia transmission written in a self-contained format. It addresses both the fundamentals and the applications of uncoded transmission. It gives a systematic introduction to the fundamental theory and concepts in this field, and at the same time, also presents specific applications that reveal the great potential and impacts for the technologies generated from the research in this field. By concentrating several important studies and developments currently taking place in the field of uncoded transmission in a single source, this book can reduce the time and cost required to learn and improve skills and knowledge in the field.

The authors have been actively working in this field for years, and this book is the final essence of their years of long research in this field. The book may be used as a collection of research notes for researchers in this field, a reference book for practitioners or engineers, as well as a textbook for a graduate advanced seminar in this field or any related fields. The references collected in this book may be used as further reading lists or references for the readers.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

未編碼多媒體傳輸(UMT)系統是一種跳過量化和熵編碼的壓縮方式,並省略所有後續的二進位操作,包括通道編碼和調變的位元到符號映射。透過直接傳輸具有幅度調變的非二進位符號,未編碼系統避免了在編碼傳輸系統中觀察到的令人困擾的懸崖效應。這一優勢使得未編碼傳輸更適合在變化的通道條件下進行單播,以及對異質用戶進行多播。

特別是在《未編碼多媒體傳輸》的第一部分中,我們考慮如何提高未編碼傳輸的效率,使其與編碼傳輸相當。接著,我們探討如何更好地利用圖像和視頻的時間和空間相關性,以實現最佳的傳輸性能。接下來,我們研究未編碼傳輸的資源分配問題,包括子通道、帶寬和功率分配。透過適當分配這些資源,未編碼傳輸可以實現更高的效率和更穩健的性能。隨後,我們考慮在具有多樣通道質量和接收器天線數量變化的MIMO廣播網絡中進行圖像和視頻的傳遞。最後,我們探討未編碼傳輸如何與數位傳輸結合使用,以達到平衡的效率和適應能力。

本書是未編碼多媒體傳輸領域中第一本以自成體系格式撰寫的專著。它涵蓋了未編碼傳輸的基本原理和應用,系統性地介紹了該領域的基本理論和概念,同時也展示了具體應用,揭示了該領域研究所產生技術的巨大潛力和影響。通過集中幾個當前在未編碼傳輸領域進行的重要研究和發展,本書可以減少學習和提升該領域技能和知識所需的時間和成本。

作者在這一領域積極工作多年,本書是他們多年研究的精華。該書可作為該領域研究人員的研究筆記集,亦可作為從業者或工程師的參考書,以及該領域或任何相關領域的研究生高級研討會教材。本書中收集的參考文獻可作為讀者的進一步閱讀清單或參考資料。
