Tradeoff between compression ratio and decoding delay of distributed source coding for uplink transmissions in machine-type communication

Rapid growth of machine-type communications devices challenges the future network with a significant aggregated data traffic. Distributed source coding is a promising technique that compresses data sources and decreases required aggregated data transmission rate. In this article, we discuss the merits and demerits of deploying distributed source coding in machine-type communications uplink transmissions. We analyze how the decoding delay and...
