Approaching the Rate-Distortion Limit with Spatial Coupling, Belief propagation and Decimation
Vahid Aref, Nicolas Macris, Marc Vuffray
We investigate an encoding scheme for lossy compression of a binary symmetric source based on simple spatially coupled Low-Density Generator-Matrix codes. The degree of the check n…
