By a locally recoverable code (LRC), we will in this paper, mean a linear code in which a given code symbol can be recovered by taking a linear combination of at most $r$ other code symbols with $r << k$. A natural extension is to the local…

Consider a lossy compression system with $\ell$ distributed encoders and a centralized decoder. Each encoder compresses its observed source and forwards the compressed data to the decoder for joint reconstruction of the target signals under…

We study the power versus distortion trade-off for the distributed transmission of a memoryless bi-variate Gaussian source over a two-to-one average-power limited Gaussian multiple-access channel. In this problem, each of two separate…

We consider the problem of successive-refinement coding for lossy compression of individual sequences, namely, compression in two stages, where in the first stage, a coarse description at a relatively low rate is sent from the encoder to…
