DISCUS, or distributed source coding using syndromes, is a method for distributed source coding.
The method is designed to achieve the Slepian–Wolf bound by using channel codes.
DISCUS was invented by researchers S. S. Pradhan and K. Ramachandran, and first published in their paper "Distributed source coding using syndromes (DISCUS): design and construction", published in the IEEE Transactions on Information Theory in 2003.
Many variations of DISCUS are presented in related literature.
