Slepian-Wolf Coding of Individual Sequences Based on Ensembles of Linear Functions

摘要

This paper clarifies the adequacy of the linear channel coding approach for Slepian-Wolf coding of individual sequences. A sufficient condition for ensembles of linear codes from which a universal Slepian-Wolf code can be constructed is given. Our result reveals that an ensemble of LDPC codes gives a universal code for Slepian-Wolf coding of individual sequences.
