Adaptive Joint Lossy Source-Channel Coding for Multihop IoT Networks

Figure 6

Energy efficiency versus transmission hopes for multihop scenario, when (a) computational energy of compression is considered at transmitter nodes, yet decoding is carried out at the receiver, which is the BS, (b) both computation costs of compression and decoding are counted at the transmitters and intermediate nodes, respectively.
(a) Decoding at the BS
(b) Decoding at 50% of nodes
