Goal-Oriented Joint Source–Channel Coding: Distortion–Classification–Power Trade-off
Andriy Enttsel, Weichen Wang, Mauro Mangia, Deniz Gunduz
Abstract
Joint source-channel coding is a compelling paradigm when low-latency and low-complexity communication is required. This work proposes a theoretical framework that integrates classification and anomaly detection within the conventional signal reconstruction objective. Assuming a Gaussian scalar source and constraining the encoder to piecewise linear mappings, we derive tractable design rules and explicitly characterize the trade-offs between distortion, classification error, and transmission power.
