A distributed coding scheme is a system where sources can be encoded whithout
any communication among them. An elegant Slepian-Wolf theorem affirms that
correlated sources that do not communicate can be compressed as efficient as if they 
communicated. 

The aim of this project is to design and analyze an LT codes'scheme for distributed 
source and joint source-channel coding using density evolution techniques .
