In this work, we investigate the MARC (Multiple Access Relay Channel) setup, in which two Markov sources communicate to a single destination, aided by one relay, based on Joint Source Channel Network (JSCN) LDPC codes. In addition, the two source nodes compress the information sequences with an LDPC source code. The compressed symbols are directly transmitted to both a relay and a destination nodes in two transportation phases. Indeed, the relay performs the concatenation of the received compressed sequences to obtain a recovered sequence, which is encoded with an LDPC channel code, before being forwarded to the destination. At the receiver, we propose an iterative joint decoding algorithm that exploits the correlation between the two sources-relay data and takes into account the errors occurring in the sources-relay links to estimate the source data. We show based on simulation results that the JSCN coding and decoding scheme into a MARC setup achieves a good performance with a gain of about 5 dB compared to a conventional LDPC code.

A joint source-channel coding (JSCC) scheme based on hybrid digital/analog coding is proposed for the transmission of correlated sources over discrete-memoryless two-way channels (DM-TWCs). The scheme utilizes the correlation between the sources in generating channel inputs, thus enabling the users to coordinate their transmission to combat channel noise. The hybrid scheme also subsumes prior coding methods such as rate-one separate source-channel coding and uncoded schemes for two-way lossy transmission, as well as the correlation-preserving coding scheme for (almost) lossless transmission. Moreover, we derive a distortion outer bound for the source-channel system using a genie-aided argument. A complete JSSC theorem for a class of correlated sources and DM-TWCs whose capacity region cannot be enlarged via interactive adaptive coding is also established. Examples that illustrate the theorem are given.

In this paper, we have considered the broadcasting of a memoryless bivariate Gaussian source over a Gaussian broadcast channel with respect to bandwidth compression. We have analysed the performance of a hybrid digital-analog (HDA) coding system in combination with joint source channel coding (JSCC) to measure the distortion regions. The transmission advantages due to the combination of both the analog and digital techniques, a class of HDA schemes that yields better performance in distortion is discussed. The performance of source and channel coding for the possible better outcome of the system is measured by employing Wyner-Ziv and Costa coding. In our model, we have considered the upper layer to be a combination of a hybrid layer in the sense of both the analog and digital processing is done. This is executed in presence of quantization error and performance of the system is measured with two conditions: 1) HDA scheme with quantization scaling factor α = 0, i.e. the input of the channel have only the analog information which is considered as the scaled quantization error βS 2) The analog information from the first layer S is suppressed by setting error scaling factor β = 0 and 3) Inclusion of recursive mode with JSCC in each of the three layers for the possible better outcome is considered here.
