A joint source/channel coding modulation algorithm based on TTCM (Turbo Trellis-Coded Modulation) is presented
which achieve bandwidth-efficient and high reconstructive quality.The source decoder is optimized by minimizing the end-to-end system distortion.The soft output values of TTCM decoder are applied directly to the designed optimal source decoder.Simulation results show that compared with the system with hard decoding
the proposed algorithm can objectively gain 2 dB improvement of decoded source in terms of SNR.
