초록

이 논문은 국내 디지털 오디오 방송(Digital Audio Broadcasting, DAB)의 표준으로 채택된 Eureka 147 DAB 시스템에 결합 소스/채널 부호화 기법(Joint Source/Channel Coding, JSC)을 적용한 데이터 전송시스템의 기본틀을 제안한다. 제안전송시스템의 소스부호화기는 기존의 SNR-계층적 부호화(SNR-Scalability) 기법의 발전된 형태인 MPEG-4 FGS(Fine Granular Scalability) 비디오부호화기, 채널부호화기로는 상이오류보호(Unequal Error Protection, UEP)에 효율적인 RCPC 부호화기 그리고 변조방식은 QPSK를 적용하였다. 채널환경은 랜덤잡음환경과 이동수신환경을 고려하였다. 이 논문에서는 여러 가지 채널 상태(Es/No)에 따른 율-왜곡특성에 대해 분석하여 소스비트율과 채널부호율 간에 최적의 상충점(Trade-off point)을 결정하였고, DAB의 계층적 비디오 전송을 위한 FGS-JSC 기법이 적용되었을 때와 단일계층의 고정부호율 전송의 경우를 비교하여 FGS-JSC 기법의 우수함을 보였다.

In this paper, we develop an approach toward JSC(Joint Source-Channel Coding) method for MPEG-4 based FGS(Fine Granular Scalability) video coding and transmission in fixed and mobile receiving environment(Digital Audio Broadcasting, DAB). The source coder used MPEG-4 FGS video codec, the channel coder used RCPC(Rate Compatible Punctured Convolution) code and the modulation method used QPSK modulation. We have considered channel environment of AWGN and mobile receiving environment. This study determined optimum Trade-off point between source bit rate and channel coding rate in variable channel states. We compared FGS-JSC method and general single layer CBR(Constant Bit Rate) transmission. In this results, FGS-JSC was appeared better performance than CBR transmission.
