Supervised by Gregory W. Wornell. Also issued as Thesis (Ph. D.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, 2002. Includes bibliographical references (p. 159-165). (cont.) We also explore the interactions between source coding and queue management in problems of buffering and distributing distortion-tolerant data. We formulate a general queuing model relevant to numerous communication scenarios, and develop a bound on the performance of any algorithm. We design an adaptive buffer-control algorithm for use in dynamic environments and under finite memory limitations; its performance closely approximates the bound. Our design uses multiresolution source codes that exploit the data's distortion-tolerance in minimizing end-to-end distortion. Compared to traditional approaches, the performance gains of the adaptive algorithm are significant - improving distortion, delay, and overall system robustness. by Stark Christiaan Draper. 2004-03-02T18:26:15Z 2004-03-02T18:26:15Z 2002 2002 http://hdl.handle.net/1721.1/4107 eng Technical report (Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
