Abstract
This paper considers the optimization of Error-Correcting Variable-Length Codes (EC-VLC), which are a class of joint-source channel codes. The aim is to find a prefix-free codebook with the largest possible free distance for a given set of codeword lengths, ℓ = (ℓ1, ℓ2, …, ℓM). The proposed approach consists in ordering all possible codebooks associated to ℓ on a tree, and then to apply an efficient branch-and-prune algorithm to find a codebook with maximal free distance. Three methods for building the tree of codebooks are presented and their efficiency is compared.
