Abstract

In this paper, two novel maximum a posteriori (MAP) estimators for the decoding of arithmetic codes in the presence of transmission errors are presented. Trellis search techniques and a forbidden symbol are employed to obtain forward error correction. The proposed system is applied to lossless image compression and transmission across the BSC; the results are compared in terms of both performance and complexity with a traditional separated source and channel coding approach based on convolutional codes.
