Time vs. Truth: Age-Distortion Tradeoffs and Strategies for Distributed Inference

In 1948, Claude Shannon laid the foundations of information theory, which grew out of a study to find the ultimate limits of source compression, and of reliable communication. Since then, information theory has proved itself not only as a quest to find the ...

Optimized Quantization in Distributed Graph Signal Processing

Pascal Frossard, Isabela Cunha Maia Nobre

Distributed graph signal processing methods require that the graph nodes communicate by exchanging messages. These messages have a finite precision in a realistic network, which may necessitate to implement quantization. Quantization, in turn, generates er ...

Quantization Design for Distributed Optimization

Colin Neil Jones, Ye Pu, Melanie Nicole Zeilinger

We consider the problem of solving a distributed optimization problem using a distributed computing platform, where the communication in the network is limited: each node can only communicate with its neighbors and the channel has a limited data-rate. A co ...

Quantization Design for Unconstrained Distributed Optimization

Colin Neil Jones, Ye Pu, Melanie Nicole Zeilinger

We consider an unconstrained distributed optimization problem and assume that the bit rate of the communication in the network is limited. We propose a distributed optimization algorithm with an iteratively refining quantization design, which bounds the qu ...

Low distortion switched-capacitor event-driven analog to digital converter

Alexandre Schmid, Yusuf Leblebici

An event-driven tracking analog to digital converter (ADC) architecture is proposed. The proposed architecture has less sensitivity to amplifier and DAC non-linearity, reduces the swing and dynamic common-mode range requirement of the operational transcond ...

Distributed average consensus with quantization refinement

Pascal Frossard, Ntorina Thanou, Ye Pu, Effrosyni Kokiopoulou

We consider the problem of distributed average consensus in a sensor network where sensors exchange quantized information with their neighbors. We propose a novel quantization scheme that exploits the increasing correlation between the values exchanged by ...

One-Bit Measurements With Adaptive Thresholds

Michaël Unser, Arash Amini, Ulugbek Kamilov, Aurélien Bourquard

We introduce a new method for adaptive one-bit quantization of linearmeasurements and propose an algorithm for the recovery of signals based on generalized approximate message passing (GAMP). Our method exploits the prior statistical information on the sig ...

Progressive quantization in distributed average consensus

Pascal Frossard, Effrosyni Kokiopoulou, Ntorina Thanou

We consider the problem of distributed average consensus in a sensor network where sensors exchange quantized information with their neighbors. In particular, we exploit the increasing correlation between the exchanged values throughout the iterations of t ...
