Adaptive Joint Lossy Source-Channel Coding for Multihop IoT Networks

Figure 5

Total energy efficiency versus compression ratio for single hop, when (a) decoding is carried out at the receiver which is the BS, (b) decoding is carried out at the receiver which is an intermediate node or cluster head. The computation energy of decoding is counted according to the used coding rate of JLSCC systems.
