It is well known that separation between lossy source coding and channel coding is asymptotically optimal under classical additive distortion measures. Recently, coding under a new class of quality considerations, often referred to as…

We study analogue source transmission over MIMO block-fading channels with receiver-only channel state information. Unlike previous work which considers the end-to-end expected distortion as a figure of merit, we study the distortion outage…

In this paper, we consider the mismatched rate-distortion problem, in which the encoding is done using a codebook, and the encoder chooses the minimum-distortion codeword according to a mismatched distortion function that differs from the…

A composite source, consisting of multiple subsources and a memoryless switch, outputs one symbol at a time from the subsource selected by the switch. If some data should be encoded more accurately than other data from an information…

We consider the lossy quantum source coding problem where the task is to compress a given quantum source below its von Neumann entropy. Inspired by the duality connections between the rate-distortion and channel coding problems in the…

A distributed lossy compression network with $L$ encoders and a decoder is considered. Each encoder observes a source and sends a compressed version to the decoder. The decoder produces a joint reconstruction of target signals with the mean…

We study lossy source coding under a distortion measure defined by the negative log-likelihood induced by a prescribed conditional distribution $P_{X|U}$. This \emph{log-likelihood distortion} models compression settings in which the…

For variable-length coding with an almost-sure distortion constraint, Zhang et al. show that for discrete sources the redundancy is upper bounded by $\log n/n$ and lower bounded (in most cases) by $\log n/(2n)$, ignoring lower order terms.…
