• Abstract:

The NEWCOM++ project proposal (Network of Excellence in Wireless COMmunication) intends to create a trans-European virtual research centre on the topic “The Network of the Future”. It was submitted to Call 1 of the VII Framework Program under the Objective ICT-2007.1.1: The Network of the Future, mainly in its target direction “Ubiquitous network infrastructure and architectures”. We participate in the workpackage WPR7 - Joint source and channel co-decoding which we coordinate together with the task TR7.3 Tools for multi-terminal JSCC/D. WPR7 addresses issues related to the robust transmission of multimedia, and essentially video, over wireless channels (possibly terminating a wired IP network). In this framework, we proposed a novel distributed compressed sensing algorithm (see Section ADD REF for details) in collaboration with E. Magli and G. Coluccia (Politecnico di Torino). A paper has been published at the EUSIPCO 2011 conference and awarded the 2011 Best Paper Award “Francesco Carassa".
