We consider wireless sensor networks deployed to observe arbitrary random fields. The
requirement is to reconstruct an estimate of the random field at a certain collector node. This …

Past work on cooperative communications has indicated substantial improvements in
channel reliability through cooperative transmission strategies. To exploit cooperation …

Cooperative techniques form a new wireless communication paradigm in which terminals
help each other in relaying information to combat the random fading and to provide diversity …

We propose a constructive approach for distributed source coding of correlated binary
sources using linear channel codes that can achieve any point of the Slepian-Wolf …

Distributed source coding (DSC) schemes rely on separate encoding but joint decoding of
statistically dependent sources, which exhibit correlation. DSC has numerous promising …

A new approach to joint source-channel coding is presented in the context of communicating
correlated sources over multiple access channels. Similar to the separation architecture, the …

The multiple-access channel with feedback and correlated sources (MACFCS) models a
sensor network in which sensors collect and transmit correlated data to a common sink. We …

A novel scheme, termed Slepian-Wolf cooperation, is proposed, which exploits distributed
source coding technologies in wireless cooperative communication to improve the inter-user …

In this paper, we propose a distributed turbo-like coding scheme for a multi-source relay
scenario where multiple sources communicate with a destination with the help of a common …

Sensors acquire data, and communicate this to an interested party. The arising coding
problem is often split into two parts: First, the sensors compress their respective acquired …
