We revisit the sequential rate-distortion (SRD) trade-off problem for vector-valued Gauss-Markov sources with mean-squared error distortion constraints. We show via a counterexample that the dynamic reverse water-filling algorithm suggested…

This paper studies the rate-distortion-perception (RDP) tradeoff for a Gaussian vector source coding problem where the goal is to compress the multi-component source subject to distortion and perception constraints. Specifically, the RDP…

The additive rate-distortion function (ARDF) was developed in order to universally bound the rate loss in the Wyner-Ziv problem, and has since then been instrumental in e.g., bounding the rate loss in successive refinements, universal…

For a Gaussian source under mean-squared error (MSE), classical transform coding is rate--distortion (RD) optimal: the Karhunen--Loeve transform (KLT) diagonalizes the covariance, reverse waterfilling allocates the bits, and scalar…

We consider the problem of transmitting a bivariate Gaussian source over a two-user additive Gaussian multiple-access channel with feedback. Each of the transmitters observes one of the source components and tries to describe it to the…

In this paper, we study the computation of the rate-distortion-perception function (RDPF) for a multivariate Gaussian source under mean squared error (MSE) distortion and, respectively, Kullback-Leibler divergence, geometric Jensen-Shannon…

We consider the transmission of a Gaussian vector source over a multi-dimensional Gaussian channel where a random or a fixed subset of the channel outputs are erased. Within the setup where the only encoding operation allowed is a linear…

We consider the k-encoder source coding problem with a quadratic distortion measure. We show that among all source distributions with a given covariance matrix K, the jointly Gaussian source requires the highest rates in order to meet a…
