Millimeter-Wave Communication Reliability Improvement Via Optimal Joint Source and Channel Coding

Abstract

Although millimeter-wave (mmWave) communication systems provide previously unheard-of bandwidth for upcoming wireless networks, they are inevitably vulnerable to channel defects such as fading, blockage, and extreme attenuation. In order to improve the dependability of mmWave communication systems, this research proposes an optimal joint source and channel coding (JSCC) scheme. The suggested approach blends strong channel coding algorithms designed for the particularities of mmWave channels with sophisticated source coding approaches. Results from simulations show significant gains in quality of service (QoS), bit error rate (BER), and dependability in a variety of communication contexts, making the framework a viable option for next-generation wireless systems.
