Sparsity estimation for data transmission
Disclosed herein are systems and methods for compressing data and for estimating sparsity of datasets to aid in compressing data. A device receives a plurality of samples of the sensor data from the sensor and determine a plurality of bits, in which each bit has a substantially equal probability of being determined as a 0 bit or of being determined as a 1 bit. The device estimates a sparsity value of the sensor data based at least in part on the sequence of bits. The device compresses the received samples of the sensor data based at least in part on the determined sparsity value to provide compressed data and transmits the compressed data via the transmitter to a receiver. Sparse data other than sensor data may also be compressed based at least in part on an estimated sparsity value.
