Abstract

We introduce three new innovations for compression using LDPCs for the Slepian-Wolfproblem. The first is a general iterative Slepian-Wolf decoding algorithm that incorporatesthe graphical structure of all the encoders and operates in a 'turbo-like' fashion. The secondinnovation introduces source-splitting to enable low-complexity pipelined implementationsof Slepian-Wolf decoding at rates besides corner points of the Slepian-Wolf region. Thisinnovation can also be applied to single-source block coding for reduced decoder complexity.The third approach is a linear programming relaxation to maximum-likelihood sequencedecoding that exhibits the ML-certificate property. This can be used for decoding a singlebinary block-compressed source as well as decoding at vertex points for the binary Slepian-Wolfproblem. All three of these innovations were motivated by recent analogous resultsin the channel coding domain.
