-Master Thesis project : 2008/2009 
  
-===== Asymmetric multilevel diversity coding ===== 
  
-**General information**\\ ​ 
-In this project the student will study a problem in lossless data 
-compression. In asymmetric multilevel diversity coding problem, a set 
-of 2^K −1 information sources is encoded by K encoders into K data 
-streams. There are 2^K−1 decoders, each of which has access to a 
-non-empty subset of the encoded messages. The decoders are assigned 
-with ordered levels, a distinct integer number m between 1 and 2^K-1, 
-and has to decode the source sequences 1,2,...,m. The main question in 
-this problem is to characterize the admissible rate tuples of the 
-streams produced by the encoders. 
  
-This problem is formulated by us in [1] and has been completely solved for 
-K=3. However, generalization of the solution to arbitrary K is messy, 
-and the size of the problem grows exponentially. The goal of this 
-project is to derive an achievable strategy for the problem based on 
-the maximum distance separable (MDS) codes. The project has two 
-programming and analytic phases. The student is suppose to develop a 
-program with a short running time to implement the proposed method, 
-and then analyze the performance of this method using information 
-theoretic tools.\\ ​ 
  
-**Prerequisit**\\ ​ 
-Student level: Master'​s program either semester project or thesis, the level 
-will be adjusted accordingly.
