Abstract

We propose a hierarchical transmission of video signal using multi-code DS/SS modulation. Assigning an appropriate distribution of transmission energy to DCT coefficients, it is possible to control the picture quality depending on the channel quality. We consider a hierarchical structure based on the variance of DCT coefficient and transmit each coefficient using multi-code DS/SS modulation. The analysis is carried out to show the effectiveness of our scheme using 2-D Gauss-Markov random field, which represents image data. It is shown that by an appropriate energy assignment to each stratum (a branch of multi-code DS/SS), it is possible to maintain picture quality even in bad channel quality
