Signal Compression: Technology Targets and Research Directions

A description of technology targets in signal compression and a nonexhaustive account of research directions that may lead toward these targets are presented. Opportunities for integrating source coding and channel coding technologies are also pointed out. Such integration, which has hitherto been an informal exercise, will become increasingly essential as communication capabilities are stretched with capacity-limited channels such as wireless media. In parallel, as greater sophistication is sought in the integration of speech and data with broadband signals such as CD-audio and high-resolution video, there will be increased interaction of signal compression technology with the field of communication networking. >
