Prototype for Multimedia Content Delivery based on Non-Transmittable Codewords Enhanced Viterbi Algorithm

The paper provides a prototype for multimedia content delivery with reduced channel code rate from conventional Non-Transmittable Codewords Enhanced Viterbi Algorithm. The code rate reduction was simulated using VB.NET Viterbi simulator available at College of Informatics and Virtual Education-University of Dodoma. The study approximates Uplink and downlink speeds limits of the prototype using High Speed Packet Access Evolved technology by assuming all other parameters remain constant. The uplink and downlink of the prototype is clearly presented. The code rate of 1/3 was obtained by simulating different 8-bits patterns. This code rate of 1/3 enabled reduction of encoder output bits from 48-bits to 24-bits, therefore, few bits would be sent to the network and bandwidth conservation is attained. This makes the prototype to be the good choice for low network bandwidth channel. In addition, the reduced code rate will reduce the expenses of user internet bundles, because number of MBs to be charged will be smaller. This prototype for multimedia delivery over network has three benefits, high data transmission reliability due to adopted NTC Enhanced Viterbi, minimum network bandwidth utilization and satisfied uplink and downlink access speed.
