Sum-rate distortion bound for suboptimal multiterminal source coding applied in medical wireless sensor networks

چکیده
In this paper, we derive the suboptimal sum-rate distortion bound for encoding correlated Gaussian sources for which the uniform scalar quantizers are used to convert the signals from analog to the discrete form. The correlated discrete signals are further compressed using the lossless Slepian and Wolf encoder. The gap between the suboptimal bound and the inner/outer bounds is also investigated. The result shows that the gap is at most 0.255 bits/sample/source which is far less than the universal bound of 2.45 bits/sample given in [1] for the three tree-structured Gaussian sources.

Sum-Rate Maximization Based on Power Constraints for Cooperative AF Relay Networks
In this paper, our objective is maximizing total sum-rate subject to power constraints on total relay transmit power or individual relay powers, for amplify-and-forward single-antenna relay-based wireless communication networks. We derive a closed-form solution for the total power constraint optimization problem and show that the individual relay power constraints optimization problem is a quad...
متن کاملSum Rate of Multiterminal Gaussian Source Coding
We characterize the sum rate of a class of multiterminal Gaussian source coding problems with quadratic distortion constraints. The key component of the solution is the identification of a multiple antenna broadcast channel that serves as a test channel.
متن کاملMultiterminal Source-Channel Communication Under Orthogonal Multiple Access
We consider the problem of multiterminal source-channel communication where a number of distributed and possibly correlated sources are transmitted through an orthogonal multiple access channel to a common destination. We characterize the optimal tradeoff between the transmission cost Γ and the distortion vector D as measured against individual sources. Our approach consists of two steps: (1) a...
متن کاملRobust Distributed Source Coding with Arbitrary Number of Encoders and Practical Code Design Technique
The robustness property can be added to DSC system at the expense of reducing performance, i.e., increasing the sum-rate. The aim of designing robust DSC schemes is to trade off between system robustness and compression efficiency. In this paper, after deriving an inner bound on the rate–distortion region for the quadratic Gaussian MDC based RDSC system with two encoders, the structure of...
متن کاملAn Infeasibility Result for the Multiterminal Source-Coding Problem
We prove a new outer bound on the rate-distortion region for the multiterminal source-coding problem. This bound subsumes the best outer bound in the literature and improves upon it strictly in some cases. The improved bound enables us to obtain a new, conclusive result for the binary erasure version of the “CEO problem.” The bound recovers many of the converse results that have been establishe...
