Sumario:In this paper, a joint early stopping criterion based on cross entropy (CE), named joint CE criterion, is presented for double-protograph low-density parity-check (DP-LDPC) codes-based joint source-channel coding (JSCC) systems in images transmission to reduce the decoding complexity and decrease the decoding delay. The proposed early stopping criterion adopts the CE from the output likelihood ratios (LLRs) of the joint decoder. Moreover, a special phenomenon named asymmetry oscillation-like convergence (AOLC) in the changing process of CE is uncovered in the source decoder and channel decoder of this system meanwhile, and the proposed joint CE criterion can reduce the impact from the AOLC phenomenon. Comparing to the counterparts, the results show that the joint CE criterion can perform well in the decoding complexity and decoding latency in the low–moderate signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) region and achieve performance improvement in the high SNR region with appropriate parameters, which also demonstrates that this system with joint CE is a low-latency and low-power system.
