Empirical Coordination with Multiple Descriptions

Information Theory 2020-04-21 v2 math.IT

Abstract

We extend the framework of empirical coordination to a distributed setup where for a given action by nature, multiple descriptions of the action of the decoder are available. We adopt the coding strategy applied by El Gamal and Cover in \cite{gamal:1982} to get a lower bound of the coordination region. Then, we improve this region by applying the coding scheme applied by Zhang and Berger in \cite{zhang:1987}.
