Two variations on Wyner's common information are proposed: conditional common information and relevant common information. These are shown to have operational meanings analogous to those of Wyner's common information in appropriately defined distributed problems of compression, simulation and channel synthesis. For relevant common information, an additional operational meaning is identified: on a multiple-access channel with private and common messages, it is the minimal common-message rate that enables communication at the maximum sum-rate under a weak coordination constraint on the inputs and output. En route, the weak-coordination problem over a Gray-Wyner network is solved under the no-excess-rate constraint.

We consider the min-cost multicast problem (under network coding) with multiple correlated sources where each terminal wants to losslessly reconstruct all the sources. We study the inefficiency brought forth by the selfish behavior of the terminals in this scenario by modeling it as a noncooperative game among the terminals. The degradation in performance due to the lack of regulation is measured by the Price of Anarchy (POA), which is defined as the ratio between the cost of the worst possible Wardrop equilibrium and the socially optimum cost. Our main result is that in contrast with the case of independent sources, the presence of source correlations can significantly increase the price of anarchy. Toward establishing this result, we first characterize the socially optimal flow and rate allocation in terms of four intuitive conditions. Next, we show that the Wardrop equilibrium is a socially optimal solution for a different set of (related) cost functions. Using this, we construct explicit examples that demonstrate that the POA > 1 and determine near-tight upper bounds on the POA as well. The main techniques in our analysis are Lagrangian duality theory and the usage of the supermodularity of conditional entropy.

Minimizing the sensor-node energy consumption is an important consideration when designing wireless sensor networks. In this paper, we focus on the energy consumption issues related to communication of data from correlated sensor nodes. An optimization algorithm is proposed for minimizing the overall energy consumption of the hardware and the physical link. We perform a detailed trade-off analysis of the circuit energy consumption, the transmission energy consumption, the transmission time, the modulation symbol size, and the channel coding rate, over a wide range of transmission distances and correlation values. Thus, a new optimized communication schedule with much lower energy consumption than our benchmark scheme of optimized uncorrelated uncoded transmission is obtained. Compared to this scheme, the total energy consumption may be reduced by more than 83.5% for a correlation value of 0.6 and a transmission distance of 100 m when using the results from the proposed optimization. This is significant with respect to increasing the lifetime of a wireless sensor network.

This paper considers the problem of minimizing the communication cost for a general multi-hop network with correlated sources and multiple sinks. For the single sink scenario, it has been shown that this problem can be decoupled, without loss of optimality, into two separate subproblems of distributed source coding and finding the optimal routing (transmission structure). It has further been established that, under certain assumptions, such decoupling also applies in the general case of multiple sinks and arbitrary network demands. We show that these assumptions are significantly restrictive, and further provide examples to substantiate the loss, including settings where removing the assumptions yields unbounded performance gains. Finally, an approach to solving the unconstrained problem, where routing and coding cannot be decoupled, is derived based on Han and Kobayashi's achievability region for multi-terminal coding.

Wireless multimedia sensor networks (WMSNs) emerge as a solution in wireless unattended video surveillance scenarios. The G-E-M methodology was recently introduced by Czarlinska et al. to address the problem providing protection to visual wireless surveillance systems in the presence of another hostile sensing system. This work builds upon the G-E-M framework by introducing pre- and post-processing stages that reduce decoding errors and visual noise as well as allowing the effective control of bitrate.

We introduce a new innovation for exploiting the algebraic binning scheme with turbo codes in distributed source coding (DSC). A simple and optimal turbo-binning scheme based on syndrome former (SF) and inverse syndrome former (ISF) was proposed in [1], but the SF/ISF construction therein works for non-punctured codes only. Since punctured turbo codes are an important class of codes, this work extends it to the punctured case. The key is to represent the punctured code in an equivalent non-punctured form and to construct the SF and ISF accordingly. We show that with punctured codes, the turbo-binning scheme is still simple, efficient and optimal. Further, the extension not only makes a large class of powerful turbo codes available to DSC, but also opens the possibility to explore rate adaptivity in turbo codes.

Compression of encrypted data can be viewed as a special case of distributed source coding and can be achieved by applying Slepian-Wolf coding. However, how to compress the encrypted video efficiently remains a challenging problem especially for those videos with irregular high motion. This paper proposes a novel multi-resolution based approach which makes it possible not only to effectively derive the temporal side information from previous frames, but also to generate the spatial side information by having partial access to the current frame. The spatial and temporal side information can then be integrated adaptively to facilitate the compression. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme significantly outperforms other schemes, especially for those video clips with irregular high motion.

In this paper we propose a novel distributed lossless compression scheme for hyperspectral images. All the images/bands are encoded independently, and the spectral correlation is exploited using distributedcoding technologies in order to achieve low encoding complexity. At the encoder, sub-sampled images are successively encoded and transmitted. At the decoder, side information is generated with the knowledge of decoded sub-sampled images and other previously decoded bands. Reference bands are adaptively selected, and sliding window prediction or k nearest neighbor prediction is performed to capture the spatially varying spectral characteristics. Experimental results on AVRIS data demonstrate that the proposed scheme achieves competitive compression performance with respect to other state-of-the-art 3D codecs and with even lower encoding complexity than 2D codecs.

We establish a new extremal inequality, which is further leveraged to give a complete characterization of the rate region of the vector Gaussian CEO problem with the trace distortion constraint. The proof of this extremal inequality hinges on a careful analysis of the Karush-Kuhn-Tucker necessary conditions for the non-convex optimization problem associated with the Berger-Tung scheme, which enables us to integrate the perturbation argument by Wang and Chen and the distortion projection method by Rahman and Wagner.
