The penalty incurred by imposing a finite delay constraint in lossless source coding of a memoryless source is investigated. It is well known that for the so-called block-to-variable and variable-to-variable codes, the redundancy decays at…
We consider source coding with fixed lag side information at the decoder. We focus on the special case of perfect side information with unit lag corresponding to source coding with feedforward (the dual of channel coding with feedback)…
This paper investigates a lossy source coding problem in which two decoders can access their side-information respectively. The correlated sources are a product of two component correlated sources, and we exclusively investigate the case…
We consider lossy source coding when side information affecting the distortion measure may be available at the encoder, decoder, both, or neither. For example, such distortion side information can model reliabilities for noisy measurements,…

We consider the multi-user lossy source-coding problem for continuous alphabet sources. In a previous work, Ziv proposed a single-user universal coding scheme which uses uniform quantization with dither, followed by a lossless source…
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…
In this paper, we study the use of GF(q)-quantized LDGM codes for binary source coding. By employing quantization, it is possible to obtain binary codewords with a non-uniform distribution. The obtained statistics is hence suitable for…
We investigate whether uncoded schemes are optimal for Gaussian sources on multiuser Gaussian channels. Particularly, we consider two problems: the first is to send correlated Gaussian sources on a Gaussian broadcast channel where each…
