Abstract: Distributed Source Coding (DSC) schemes rely on separate encoding but joint decoding of statistically dependent sources, which exhibit correlation. More specifically, Distributed Joint Source-Channel coding (DJSC) is associated with the scenario, where the correlated source signals are transmitted through a noisy channel. On one hand, employing DSC or DJSC schemes exploits the existing correlation between sensors resulting in minimising the transmission energy required by the sources, while maintaining reliable communication. On the other hand, Network Coding (NC) is an efficient data transport technique leveraging network efficiency, by allowing Relay Nodes (RNs) in a communication network to combine multiple data packets received via the incoming links before transmitting them to the Destination Node (DN). In this paper, the bandwidth-efficient Distributed Joint Turbo Trellis-Coded Modulation (DJTTCM) aided by both Dynamic Network Coding (DNC) and Adaptive DNC (ADNC)-based cooperative transmission schemes are proposed. Both systems are proposed for supporting correlated source transmissions over hostile channels experiencing both small-scale and large-scale fading in which the RNs dynamically transmit its non-binary linear combinations to the DN. A substantial gain of 19.5 dB was attained at a correlation coefficient of ρ = 0.8 over its counterpart dispensing with NC.
