Abstract

In many applications retransmission of lost packets are not permitted. In an OFDM system, due to channel fading, only a subset of carriers are usable for successful data transmission. If the channel state information is available at the transmitter, it is possible to take a proactive decision of mapping the descriptions optimally onto the good subcarriers and discard at the transmitter itself the remaining descriptions, which would have been otherwise dropped at the receiver due to unacceptably high channel errors. In this paper we present a energy saving approach to transmission of discrete wavelet transformation based compressed image frames over the OFDM channels. Based on one-bit channel state information at the transmitter, the descriptions in order of descending priority are assigned to the currently good channels. In order to reduce the system power consumption, the mapped descriptions onto the bad subchannels are dropped at the transmitter. Via analysis, supported by MATLAB simulations, we demonstrate the usefulness of our proposed scheme in terms of system energy saving without compromising the received quality in terms of peak signal-noise ratio.
