Vision

      The primary goal of this project is to make efficient use of the Slepian-Wolf (SW) and multiple access channel (MAC) rate region theories on practical technology bases for distributed cooperative wireless networks using multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems. Another goal of the project is to exploit SW and MAC rate regions theorems in a practical way by taking into account the close-capacity achieving properties of iterative decoding techniques. Major applications of the expected results are power limited wireless multi-hop and ad-hoc networks, sensor/monitoring networks, where wireless transmitters (sensors) collect the correlated data and transmit it to a destination (such as fusion center) at low transmit power (or equivalently low rate) by exploiting the SW rate region theorem, and also by the MAC rate theorem to enhance the spectrum efficiency..
