Coding, information theory and compression constitute the backbone of modern digital communications and data storage. Grounded in Shannon’s seminal work, information theory quantifies the ...

Distributed source coding represents a paradigm shift in data compression, wherein multiple correlated sources are encoded independently while still enabling joint decoding. This approach contrasts ...
