Random information on the term “DISCUS”:

Modulo-N code is a lossy compression algorithm used to compress correlated data sources using modulo arithmetic.

When applied to two nodes in a network whose data are in close range of each other Modulo-N code requires one node (say odd) to send the coded data value as the raw data

M

o

=

D

o

{\displaystyle M_{o}=D_{o}}

; the even node is required to send the coded data as the

M

e

=
(

D

e

)
m
o
d
(
N
)

{\displaystyle M_{e}=(D_{e})mod(N)}

. Hence the name Modulo-N code.

Since it is known that for a number K, at least

l
o

g

2

(
K
)

{\displaystyle log_{2}(K)}

bits are required to represent it in binary. So the modulo coded data of the two nodes requires totally

l
o

g

2

(

M

o

)
+
l
o

g

2

(

M

e

)

{\displaystyle log_{2}(M_{o})+log_{2}(M_{e})}

. As we can generally expect

l
o

g

2

(

M

e

)

l
o

g

2

(

M

o

)

{\displaystyle log_{2}(M_{e})\leq log_{2}(M_{o})}

always, because

M

e


N

{\displaystyle M_{e}\leq N}

. This is the how compression is achieved.
