Joint source and channel coding

In information theory, joint source–channel coding is the encoding of a redundant information source for transmission over a noisy channel, and the corresponding decoding, using a single code instead of the more conventional steps of source coding followed by channel coding.

Not to be confused with joint encoding.

Joint source–channel coding has been proposed and implemented for a variety of situations, including speech and videotransmission.
