Abstract
As an extension of source polarization and channel polarization, this paper considers joint source-channel polarization, which results in a joint source-channel coding (JSCC) scheme using a quasi-uniform systematic polar code (SPC). In this JSCC scheme, the source with side information is encoded as a systematic polar codeword and only parity bits are transmitted through the channel. The indices of systematic bits are quasi-uniform, which enable the source and the channel to be jointly polarized to either a high entropy part or a low entropy part. The analysis reveals that the quasi-uniform SPC cannot be constructed via original polar coding. To solve this problem, additional bit-swap coding is introduced to modify original polar coding and construct this kind of SPCs. The proposed JSCC scheme can asymptotically approach the information-theoretical limit. For the noiseless channel, the proposed scheme is degraded into classic Slepain-Wolf coding or lossless source coding based on parity approach.
