Compressed Sensing using sparse binary measurements: A rateless coding perspective

Abstract

© 2015 IEEE. Compressed Sensing (CS) methods using sparse binary measurement matrices and iterative message-passing recovery procedures have been recently investigated due to their low computational complexity and excellent performance. Drawing much of inspiration from sparse-graph codes such as Low-Density Parity-Check (LDPC) codes, these studies use analytical tools from modern coding theory to analyze CS solutions. In this paper, we consider and systematically analyze the CS setup inspired by a class of efficient, popular and flexible sparse-graph codes called rateless codes. The proposed rateless CS setup is asymptotically analyzed using tools such as Density Evolution and EXIT charts and fine-Tuned using degree distribution optimization techniques.
