A Note on Slepian-Wolf Bounds for Several Node Grouping Configurations
share
The Slepian-Wolf bound on the admissible coding rate forms the most fundamental aspect of distributed source coding. As such, it is necessary to provide a framework with which to model more practical scenarios with respect to the arrangement of nodes in order to make Slepian-Wolf coding more suitable for multi-node Wireless Sensor Networks. This paper provides two practical scenarios in order to achieve this aim. The first is by grouping the nodes based on correlation while the second involves simplifying the structure using Markov correlation. It is found that although the bounds of these scenarios are more restrictive than the original Slepian-Wolf bound, the overall model and bound are simplified.
