A method of combined source and channel coding is described that provides robustness to errors from a binary symmetric channel and uses the JPEG2000 (JP2) image compression standard. The source code rate and channel code rate are jointly optimized to produce a stream of fixed-size channel packets, such that the rate allocation complexity grows O(N/sup 2/) with the number of transmitted packets, N. Punctured turbo codes are used for channel coding, providing strong error protection. The rate allocation scheme presented obtains all necessary information from the JP2 encoder, and does not require image decompression.
