Abstract

We show how conventional parallel (turbo) and serial concatenated convolutionalcodes can be used to compress close to the Slepian-Wolf limit ofr correlated binarysources.Conventional refers to codes already used in channel coding.Focusing on the asymmetric case of compression of an equiprobable memoryless binary source withside information at the decoder, the approach is based on modeling the correlation asa channel and using syndromes.The encoding and decoding procedures are explainedin detail.The performance achieved is seen to be better than recently publishedresults using nonconventional turbo codes and very close to the Slepian-Wolf limit.
