Distributed Source Coding of Correlated Gaussian Remote Sources

In multi-user source networks distributed coding of correlated information sources is a form of communication system which is significant from both theoretical and practical point of view. The first fundamental theory in those coding systems was established by Slepian and Wolf. They considered a distributed source coding system of two correlated information sources. Those two sources are separately encoded and sent to a single destination, where the decoder reconstructs the original sources. In this system, Slepian and Wolf determined the admissible rate region, the set that consists of a pair of transmission rates for which two sources can be decoded with an arbitrary small error probability.
