Pseudo-Gray coding belongs to joint source/channel coding, which could provide a redundancy-free error protection scheme for VQ of analog signals when the binary indexes of signal codevectors are used as channel symbols on a discrete memoryless channel. Since pseudo-Gray coding is of combinatorial optimization problems which are NP-complete problems,globally optimal solutions are generally impossible. Thus, a kind of Hopfield neural network is used by constructing suitable energy function to get sub-optimal solutions. This kind of Hop field neural network is easily modified to solve simplified version of pseudo-Gray coding for single bit-error channel model. Simulating experimental results show that the method introduced here could offer good performances.展开更多
