System and method for designing Slepian-Wolf codes by channel code partitioning. A generator matrix may be partitioned to generate a plurality of sub-matrices corresponding respectively to a plurality of correlated data sources. The partitioning may be performed in accordance with a rate allocation among the plurality of correlated data sources. A corresponding plurality of parity matrices may then be generated based respectively on the sub-matrices, where each parity matrix is useable to encode correlated data for a respective correlated data source. |
