Abstract :
We consider the design of index assignments for the distributed source coding problem in large-scale sensor networks. Using basic tools from number theory, specifically Diophantine analysis, we provide a framework for constructing cyclic index assignments that have very low complexity yet perform very close to fundamental bounds provided by rate-distortion theory.
