Abstract:
1. A method comprising: selecting one or more parameters for channel encoding of an encoded source for minimizing distortion between the encoded source and a reconstructed encoded source induced by transmission of the source over a multiple input multiple output (MIMO) channel, wherein the one or more parameters selected for minimizing distortion comprises a MIMO modulation and coding scheme (MCS) and a precoding matrix, wherein the MIMO MCS and precoding matrix are selected by: performing channel encoding on the encoded source using the selected one or more parameters to provide channel-encoded data for transmitting the encoded source over the MIMO channel; performing source encoding on the source with a source encoder prior to the channel encoding; receiving rate distortion information from the source encoder, wherein the rate distortion information is used for selecting the one or more parameters for minimizing the distortion, wherein the receiving is performed at a channel encoder.
