Title
Evaluation Of Analog Joint Source-Channel Coding Systems For Multiple Access Channels
Abstract
We address the evaluation of low-complexity analog Joint Source Channel Coding (JSCC) methods for the transmission of discrete-time analog symbols over Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) Multiple Access Channels (MAC). Analog JSCC is employed to encode the source information at each transmitter prior to be directly input to the MAC access scheme. Three channel access methods are considered to ensure the receiver is able to recover the user information: Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA), linear MMSE access codes and opportunistic access. CDMA allows the orthogonal transmission of the user data requiring only Channel State Information (CSI) at reception. On the other hand, linear MMSE access codes exploit CSI knowledge at transmission and exhibit better performance. Finally, opportunistic access also exploits CSI at transmission and allocates all MAC resources to the user with the strongest channel. This latter access scheme exhibits the best performance in terms of sum distortion although it may lead to unfair rate distributions among users.
