【 摘 要 】

Wi-Fi and LTE are commonly used for the transmission of high bandwidth data and multimedia over the internet. Providing a good quality of service in the transmission of such data over these wireless channels is challenging due to channel impairments such as noise and fading. This paper proposes three enhanced transmission schemes for audio over Wi-Fi and LTE. The first proposed scheme exploits the unequal importance of the bits generated by an MP3 codec to offer different levels of protection to them during transmission by mapping the important bits on prioritized QAM constellation bit positions. The second and third schemes use the statistical distribution of source symbols to map the bits of the encoded symbols to an SQAM constellation. For the second scheme, only systematic bits from the encoder are mapped onto the SQAM constellation. While for the third scheme, both the systematic and parity bits are mapped onto the SQAM constellation. A comparative analysis with different frequency transforms have been done. The simulation results show that the proposed schemes increase the system performance by 1–20 dB in segmented signal to noise ratio (SSNR). Using DWT further increases the gains up to 90 dB for 16-QAM at rate ½ as compared to FFT.
