Source and Channel Rate Allocation for Channel Codes
Satisfying the Gilbert-Varshamov or Tsfasman-Vladut-Zink Bounds
András Méhes and Kenneth Zeger
Abstract
We derive bounds for optimal rate allocation between source and channel coding
for linear channel codes that meet the Gilbert-Varshamov or
Tsfasman-Vladut-Zink bounds.
Formulas giving the high resolution vector quantizer distortion of these
systems are also derived. In addition, we give bounds on how far below channel
capacity the transmission rate should be for a given delay constraint.
