We analyze the performance of a linear code used for a data compression of Slepian-Wolf type. In our framework, two correlated data are separately compressed into codewords employing Gallager-type codes and casted into a communication…
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…
Practical constructions of lossless distributed source codes (for the Slepian-Wolf problem) have been the subject of much investigation in the past decade. In particular, near-capacity achieving code designs based on LDPC codes have been…
In this paper, we analyze classical data compression with quantum side information (also known as the classical-quantum Slepian-Wolf protocol) in the so-called large and moderate deviation regimes. In the non-asymptotic setting, the…
We consider the problem of zero error source coding with limited feedback when side information is present at the receiver. First, we derive an achievable rate region for arbitrary joint distributions on the source and the side information.…
We provide a novel upper-bound on Witsenhausen's rate, the rate required in the zero-error analogue of the Slepian-Wolf problem; our bound is given in terms of a new information-theoretic functional defined on a certain graph. We then use…
The problem of distributed data compression for function computation is considered, where (i) the function to be computed is not necessarily symbol-wise function and (ii) the information source has memory and may not be stationary nor…
In this paper, we consider different aspects of the network functional compression problem where computation of a function (or, some functions) of sources located at certain nodes in a network is desired at receiver(s). The rate region of…
In a lossless compression system with target lengths, a compressor ${\cal C}$ maps an integer $m$ and a binary string $x$ to an $m$-bit code $p$, and if $m$ is sufficiently large, a decompressor ${\cal D}$ reconstructs $x$ from $p$. We call…

The second-order achievable rate region in Slepian-Wolf source coding systems is investigated. The concept of second-order achievable rates, which enables us to make a finer evaluation of achievable rates, has already been introduced and…
We study the following combinatorial version of the Slepian-Wolf coding scheme. Two isolated Senders are given binary strings $X$ and $Y$ respectively; the length of each string is equal to $n$, and the Hamming distance between the strings…
Distributed source coding schemes are typically based on the use of channels codes as source codes. In this paper we propose a new paradigm, termed "distributed arithmetic coding", which exploits the fact that arithmetic codes are good…
Motivated from the fact that universal source coding on countably infinite alphabets is not feasible, this work introduces the notion of almost lossless source coding. Analog to the weak variable-length source coding problem studied by Han…
Traditionally, ensembles of Slepian-Wolf (SW) codes are defined such that every bin of each $n$-vector of each source is randomly drawn under the uniform distribution across the sets $\{0,1,\ldots,2^{nR_X}-1\}$ and…
Correlated sources are present in communication systems where protocols ensure that there is some predetermined information for sources. Here correlated sources across an eavesdropped channel that incorporate a heterogeneous encoding scheme…
This work studies the problem of distributed compression of correlated sources with an action-dependent joint distribution. This class of problems is, in fact, an extension of the Slepian-Wolf model, but where cost-constrained actions taken…
We consider a secure source coding problem with a rate-limited helper. In particular, Alice observes an independent and identically distributed (i.i.d.) source X and wishes to transmit this source losslessly to Bob over a rate-limited link.…
Distributed compression is the task of compressing correlated data by several parties, each one possessing one piece of data and acting separately. The classical Slepian-Wolf theorem (D. Slepian, J. K. Wolf, IEEE Transactions on Inf.…
Consider a sequence $X^n$ of length $n$ emitted by a Discrete Memoryless Source (DMS) with unknown distribution $p_X$. The objective is to construct a lossless source code that maps $X^n$ to a sequence $\widehat{Y}^m$ of length $m$ that is…
