Abstract:
It is challenging to design an efficient lossy compression scheme for complicated sources based on block codes, especially to approach the theoretical distortion-rate limit. In this paper, a lossy compression scheme is proposed for Gaussian and Laplacian sources. In this scheme, a new route using "transformation-quantization" was designed to replace the conventional "quantization-compression". The proposed scheme utilizes neural networks for transformation and lossy protograph low-density parity-check codes for quantization. To ensure the system's feasibility, some problems existing in the neural networks were resolved, including parameter updating and the propagation optimization. Simulation results demonstrated good distortion-rate performance.

Attenuation
When constant series resistance and shunt conductance are present, voltage and current equations are modified. The propagation constant indicates that voltage and current waves consist of both forward and backward traveling components. These waves attenuate as they propagate, with the attenuation factor related to the resistance and conductance. In a...
