We consider a multiterminal source coding problem in which a source is estimated at a central processing unit from lossy-compressed remote observations. Each lossy-encoded observation is produced by a remote sensor which obtains a noisy…

For the HB problem with the CR constraint, the rate-distortion function is derived under the assumption that the side information sequences are (stochastically) degraded. The rate-distortion function is also calculated explicitly for three…

Advancing over up-to-date information theoretic results that assume symmetric correlation models, in this work we consider the problem of lossy binary source coding with side information, where the correlation is expressed by a generic…

Our understanding of information in systems has been based on the foundation of memoryless processes. Extensions to stable Markov and auto-regressive processes are classical. Berger proved a source coding theorem for the marginally unstable…

One-shot information theory addresses scenarios in source coding and channel coding where the signal blocklength is assumed to be 1. In this case, each source and channel can be used only once, and the sources and channels are arbitrary and…

We consider the joint source-channel coding problem of sending a Gaussian source on a K-user Gaussian broadcast channel with bandwidth mismatch. A new outer bound to the achievable distortion region is derived using the technique of…

In this paper, the rate-distortion theory of the Gray-Wyner lossy source coding system is investigated. For the case of jointly Gaussian distributed sources, we establish an expression for the rate-distortion function under the constraint…

This paper considers the joint compression of a pair of correlated sources, where the encoder is allowed to access only one of the sources. The objective is to recover both sources under separate distortion constraints for each source while…

We consider the classic joint source-channel coding problem of transmitting a memoryless source over a memoryless channel. The focus of this work is on the long-standing open problem of finding the rate of convergence of the smallest…

A multiple-descriptions (MD) coding strategy is proposed and an inner bound to the achievable rate-distortion region is derived. The scheme utilizes linear codes. It is shown in two different MD set-ups that the linear coding scheme…

In this paper, the authors provide a weak decoding version of the traditional source coding theorem of Claude Shannon. The central bound that is obtained is \[ \chi>\log_{\epsilon}(2^{-n(H(X)+\epsilon)}) \] where \[…

In this paper, we revisit two multi-terminal lossy source coding problems: the lossy source coding problem with side information available at the encoder and one of the two decoders, which we term as the Kaspi problem (Kaspi, 1994), and the…

In this paper, we present iterative algorithms that numerically compute the rate-distortion regions of two problems: the two-encoder multiterminal source coding problem and the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) problem, both under logarithmic…

We consider the problem of source coding with receiver side information for the simple network proposed by R. Gray and A. Wyner in 1974. In this network, a transmitter must reliably transport the output of two correlated information sources…

It is well known that independent (separate) encoding of K correlated sources may incur some rate loss compared to joint encoding, even if the decoding is done jointly. This loss is particularly evident in the multiple descriptions problem,…

This monograph presents a unified treatment of single- and multi-user problems in Shannon's information theory where we depart from the requirement that the error probability decays asymptotically in the blocklength. Instead, the error…

Given a general source with countably infinite source alphabet and a general channel with arbitrary abstract channel input/channel output alphabets, we study the joint source-channel coding problem from the information-spectrum point of…

In this paper, we consider a distributed remote source coding problem, where a sequence of observations of source vectors is available at the encoder. The problem is to specify the optimal rate for encoding the observations subject to a…

In this paper, we study rate-distortion theory for general sources with an emphasis on the existence of optimal reconstruction distributions on noncompact alphabets. Classical attainability results typically rely on compactness of the…

We investigate distributed source coding of two correlated sources X and Y where messages are passed to a decoder in a cascade fashion. The encoder of X sends a message at rate R_1 to the encoder of Y. The encoder of Y then sends a message…
