We focus on a trellis-based decoding technique for variable length codes (VLCs) which
does not require any additional side information besides the number of bits in the coded …

In this paper we describe a trellis representation of variable length coded data which is
capable of being used for bit-level or symbol-level maximum a posteriori (MAP) decoding of …

In this paper, a new still image coding scheme is presented. In contrast with standard
tandem coding schemes, where the redundancy is introduced after source coding, it is …

We propose a joint list decoder and language decoder that exploits the redundancy of
language-based sources during polar decoding. By judging the validity of decoded words in …

Most source coding standards (voice, audio, image and video) use Variable-Length Codes
(VLCs) for compression. However, the VLC decoder is very sensitive to transmission errors …

Variable-length error-correcting (VLEC) codes are considered for combined source and
channel coding. Instantaneous decoding algorithms for VLEC codes treated previously in …

Motivated by previous results in joint source-channel coding and decoding, we consider the
problem of decoding of variable-length codes using soft channel values. We present results …

This paper presents an enhanced permeable layer mechanism useful for highly robust
packetized multimedia transmission. Packet header recovery at various protocol layers …
