Abstract
A system and method for implementing a distributed source coding quantization scheme is provided. In one example, two independent but statistically correlated data sources can be asymmetrically compressed so that one source is compressed at a higher ratio than the other. The resulting signals are transmitted and decoded by a receiver. The highly compressed source can utilize the non-highly compressed source as side information so as to minimize the compression loss associated with the higher compression ratio. A conditional codebook can be created that not only depends on the highly compressed quantizer, but also depends on the quantized symbol received from the non-highly compressed data source.
