Distributed source coding is one of the key enablers for efficient cooperative communication. The potential applications range from wireless sensor networks, ad-hoc networks, and surveillance networks, to robust low-complexity video coding, stereo/Multiview video coding, HDTV, hyper-spectral and multispectral imaging, and biometrics.

The book is divided into three sections: theory, algorithms, and applications. Part one covers the background of information theory with an emphasis on DSC; part two discusses designs of algorithmic solutions for DSC problems, covering the three most important DSC problems: Slepian-Wolf, Wyner-Ziv, and MT source coding; and part three is dedicated to a variety of potential DSC applications.

Key features:

The book provides fundamental knowledge for engineers and computer scientists to access the topic of distributed source coding. It is also suitable for senior undergraduate and first year graduate students in electrical engineering; computer engineering; signal processing; image/video processing; and information theory and communications.

This book constitutes the refereed post-conference proceedings of the Fifth International Conference on IoT as a Service, IoTaaS 2019, which took place in Xi’an, China, in November 2019. The 54 revised full papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 106 submissions. The papers contribute to the discussion on the challenges posed by Internet of Things (Io). The two technical tracks and three workshops deal in detail: Networking and Communications Technologies for IoT, IoT as a service, International Workshop on Edge Intelligence and Computing for IoT Communications and Applications, International Workshop on Wireless Automated Networking for Internet of Things, and International Workshop on Ubiquitous Services Transmission for Internet of Things.
