Possible Components of Modern Communication Intelligent Comm. Network would achieve intelligence through intelligent transmitter and receiver terminals The Tx/Rx would estimate the channel and optimize for best Eb/No Error performance would be enhanced trough channel coding Error detection would need lesser redundancy but erroneous message has to be repeated. Forward Error Correction requires larger number of parity bits and the faulty bits are located

Possible Components of Modern Communication (cont’d) Advanced convolutional Turbo Codes can perform near to shannon’s limit through appropriate interleavers and coders Source coding would take away redundancy Audio coding standard with CELP techniques and video coding with MPEG standard could provide efficient representation of information. H.264 encoders and decoders are available off the shelf. IPTV is also a very efficient way available at an economical rate
