Entropy and Distributed Source Coding of Connected Soft Random Geometric Graphs
Abstract
We consider the distributed compression of Soft Random Geometric Graphs (SRGGs) above the connectivity threshold. We establish the Slepian-Wolf rate region for the SRGG in the setting where there are a finite number of encoders compressing sections of the graph independently. To do so, we prove novel limit theorems and asymptotic equipartition properties for the SRGG and its entropy, which allow us to use random binning techniques for distributed compression.
