A Compressed Sensing Approach for Distribution Matching

Vahid Aref, Mohamad Baker Dia

In this work, we formulate the fixed-length distribution matching as a Bayesian inference problem. Our proposed solution is inspired from the compressed sensing paradigm and the sparse superposition (SS) codes. First, we introduce sparsity in the binary so ...

On the Convergence Speed of Spatially Coupled LDPC Ensembles

Vahid Aref

Spatially coupled low-density parity-check codes show an outstanding performance under the low-complexity belief propagation (BP) decoding algorithm. They exhibit a peculiar convergence phenomenon above the BP threshold of the underlying non-coupled ensemb ...

Approaching the Rate-Distortion Limit With Spatial Coupling, Belief Propagation, and Decimation

Nicolas Macris, Marc Vuffray, Vahid Aref

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 nodes is regular and the one of code-bits is Poisson distributed with an aver ...

Lossy source coding via spatially coupled LDGM ensembles

Rüdiger Urbanke, Nicolas Macris, Marc Vuffray, Vahid Aref

We study a new encoding scheme for lossy source compression based on spatially coupled low-density generatormatrix codes. We develop a belief-propagation guided-decimation algorithm, and show that this algorithm allows to approach the optimal distortion of ...

Approaching the Rate-Distortion Limit by spatial Coupling with Belief Propagation and Decimation

Nicolas Macris, Marc Vuffray, Vahid Aref

We investigate an encoding scheme for lossy compression based on spatially coupled Low-Density Generator-Matrix codes. The degree distributions are regular, or are Poisson on the code-bit side and check-regular which allows use for any compression rate. Th ...
