Distributed Joint Source-Channel Coding with Raptor Codes for Correlated Data Gathering in Wireless Sensor Networks

Abstract

Correlated data gathering in body area networks calls for systems that perform efficient compression and reliable transmission of the measurements, while imposing a small computational burden at the sensors. Highly-efficient compression mechanisms, e.g., adaptive arithmetic entropy encoding, do not
