Pratik Patil and Ahmed Badr, both students in The Edward S. Rogers Sr. Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering, brought home a best student paper award and $300 prize from the Asilomar Conference on Signals, Systems and Computers last week. Their paper, “Delay-Optimal Streaming Codes under Source-Channel Rate Mismatch,” is co-authored with Professor Ashish Khisti and Wai-Tian Tan of Hewlett Packard Laboratories.
The paper considers low-delay error correction codes for streaming recovery over a class of packet-erasure channels. The authors characterize the capacity of a certain class of burst-erasure channels and develop explicit codes that attain this capacity.
Now in its 47th year, the Asilomar Conference on Signals, Systems and Computers is an annual conference held on the Asilomar Grounds in Pacific Grove, California. It provides a forum for presenting work in various areas of theoretical and applied signal processing. The event is organized in cooperation with ATK Space Systems, and the IEEE Signal Processing Society is a technical co-sponsor.
