Abstract
We present an improved index-based a-posteriori probability (APP) decoding approach for variable-length encoded packetized data, where implicit residual source correlation is exploited for error protection. The proposed algorithm is based on a novel generalized two-dimensional state representation which leads to a three-dimensional trellis with unique state transitions. APP decoding on this trellis is realized by employing a two-dimensional version of the classical BCJR algorithm. This new method has the advantage that, due to the unique state representation, all available a-priori information can be fully exploited, which especially holds for the transition probabilities of the Markov model associated with the variable-length encoded source indices. Simulation results for an additional error protection by channel codes and iterative joint source-channel decoding show that the proposed approach leads to an increased error-correction performance compared to previously published results where a one-dimensional state representation is used.
