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…

An encoder wishes to minimize the bit rate necessary to guarantee that a decoder is able to calculate a symbol-wise function of a sequence available only at the encoder and a sequence that can be measured only at the decoder. This classical…

Consider a pair of correlated Gaussian sources (X1,X2). Two separate encoders observe the two components and communicate compressed versions of their observations to a common decoder. The decoder is interested in reconstructing a linear…

Index coding is a source coding problem in which a broadcaster seeks to meet the different demands of several users, each of whom is assumed to have some prior information on the data held by the sender. If the sender knows its clients'…

Task-Oriented Source Coding (TOSC) has emerged as a paradigm for efficient visual data communication in machine-centric inference systems, where bitrate, latency, and task performance must be jointly optimized under resource constraints.…

We consider a remote source coding problem subject to a {distortion function}. Contrary to the use of the classical separable distortion criterion, herein we consider the more general, $f$-separable distortion measure and study its…

We investigate the Wyner-Ziv coding in which the statistics of the principal source is known but the statistics of the channel generating the side-information is unknown except that it is in a certain class. The class consists of channels…

Let (S1,i, S2,i), distributed according to i.i.d p(s1, s2), i = 1, 2, . . . be a memoryless, correlated partial side information sequence. In this work we study channel coding and source coding problems where the partial side information…

Rate distortion theory treats the problem of encoding a source with minimum codebook size while at the same time allowing for a certain amount of errors in the reconstruction measured by a fidelity criterion and distortion level. Similar to…

The two-sender unicast index coding problem consists of finding optimal coded transmissions from the two senders which collectively know the messages demanded by all the receivers. Each receiver demands a unique message. One important class…

In the presence of multiple senders, one of the simplest decoding strategies that can be employed by a receiver is successive decoding. In a successive decoding strategy, the receiver decodes the messages one at a time using the knowledge…

A coding problem for correlated information sources is investigated. Messages emitted from two correlated sources are jointly encoded, and delivered to two decoders. Each decoder has access to one of the two messages to enable it to…
