LDPC code design for asynchronous Slepian-Wolf coding
TL;DR: This work considers asynchronous Slepian-Wolf coding where the two encoders may not have completely accurate timing information to synchronize their individual block code boundaries, and proposes LDPC code design in this scenario using a new information-theoretic coding scheme based on source splitting.

Abstract: We consider asynchronous Slepian-Wolf coding where the two encoders may not have completely accurate timing information to synchronize their individual block code boundaries, and propose LDPC code design in this scenario. A new information-theoretic coding scheme based on source splitting is provided, which can achieve the entire asynchronous Slepian-Wolf rate region. Unlike existing methods based on source splitting, the proposed scheme does not require common randomness at the encoder and the decoder, or the construction of super-letter from several individual symbols. We then design LDPC codes based on this new scheme, by applying the recently discovered source-channel code correspondence. Experimental results validate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

On the Reliability Function of Variable-Rate Slepian-Wolf Coding
TL;DR: In this paper, the reliability function of variable-rate Slepian-Wolf codes with constant composition codes was analyzed and lower and upper bounds on the error rate were derived, and it was shown that variable rate codes can significantly outperform fixed rate codes in terms of rate-error tradeoff.

Coding Theorems for Asynchronous Slepian–Wolf Coding Systems
TL;DR: In this article, the authors consider the situation in which the Slepian-Wolf (SW) coding system is asynchronous, i.e., each encoder samples a source sequence with some unknown delay.

Coding Theorems for Asynchronous Slepian-Wolf Coding Systems
TL;DR: The achievable rate region is clarified which is the set of rate pairs of encoders such that the decoding error probability vanishes as the blocklength tends to infinity and it is shown that this region does not always coincide with that of the synchronous SW coding system in which each encoder samples a source sequence without any delay.

Excess rate for model selection in interactive compression using belief propagation decoding
TL;DR: A new expression is proposed to evaluate the excess rate of mismatched decoding in a practical case of interest: when the decoder is the belief propagation algorithm and a good match is shown for practical interactive compression schemes based on fixed-length Low-Density Parity-Check (LDPC) codes.
Universal Decoding for Asynchronous Slepian-Wolf Encoding
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors considered the problem of source coding of two correlated memoryless sources using separate encoders and a joint decoder, and proposed a universal decoder that is asymptotically as good as the optimal maximum a posteriori probability (MAP) decoder in the sense of the random coding error exponent achieved.

Design of capacity-approaching irregular low-density parity-check codes
TL;DR: This work designs low-density parity-check codes that perform at rates extremely close to the Shannon capacity and proves a stability condition which implies an upper bound on the fraction of errors that a belief-propagation decoder can correct when applied to a code induced from a bipartite graph with a given degree distribution.
The capacity of low-density parity-check codes under message-passing decoding
TL;DR: The results are based on the observation that the concentration of the performance of the decoder around its average performance, as observed by Luby et al. in the case of a binary-symmetric channel and a binary message-passing algorithm, is a general phenomenon.
