Lossy Joint Source-Channel Coding Using Raptor Codes by O. Y. Bursalioglu, M. Fresia, G. Caire, H. V. Poor

“…The use of systematic raptor encoders is proposed, in order to obtain a continuum of coding rates with a single basic encoding algorithm. Simulations show that the proposed scheme can outperform the separated baseline scheme for finite coding length and comparable complexity and, as expected, it is much more robust to channel errors in the case of channel capacity mismatch.…”
