We propose an adaptive lossy joint source-channel coding (JSCC) scheme for sending correlated sources over two-terminal discrete-memoryless two-way channels (DM-TWCs). The main idea is to couple the independent operations of terminals via mechanism, which can mitigate cross-interference resulting from simultaneous channel transmissions and concurrently exploit sources' correlation reduce end-to...

Fix a random variable X having as its possible values entries of a set X . Let Σ∗ denote the set of strings whose characters are taken from an alphabet Σ. In the case Σ has two elements, we can interpret elements of Σ∗ as bit strings, for example. Let Y denote a set of target symbols and C denote a code, a function of the form X → Y∗. The extension of a symbol code, a code of the form C : X → Y...

A general method of coding over expansion is proposed, which allows one to reduce the highly non-trivial problems of coding over analog channels and compressing analog sources to a set of much simpler subproblems, coding over discrete channels and compressing discrete sources. More specifically, the focus of this paper is on the additive exponential noise (AEN) channel, and lossy compression of...

The data sensed by different sensors in a sensor network is typically correlated. A natural question is whether the data correlation can be exploited in innovative ways along with network information transfer techniques to design efficient and distributed schemes for the operation of such networks. This necessarily involves a coupling between the issues of compression and networked data transmi...
