the robustness property can be added to dsc system at the expense of reducing performance, i.e., increasing the sum-rate. the aim of designing robust dsc schemes is to trade off between system robustness and compression efficiency. in this paper, after deriving an inner bound on the rate–distortion region for the quadratic gaussian mdc based rdsc system with two encoders, the structure of the r...

An information-spectrum approach is applied to solve the multiterminal source coding problem for correlated general sources, where sources may be nonstationary and/or nonergodic, and the distortion measure is arbitrary and may be nonadditive. A general formula for the rate-distortion region of the multiterminal source coding problem with the maximum distortion criterion under fixed-length codin...

This paper deals with a universal coding problem for a certain kind of multiterminal source coding system that we call the complementary delivery coding system. Both fixed-to-fixed length and fixed-to-variable length lossless coding schemes are considered. Explicit constructions of universal codes and bounds of the error probabilities are clarified via type-theoretical and graph-theoretical ana...

This paper deals with a universal coding problem for a certain kind of multiterminal source coding network called a generalized complementary delivery network. In this network, messages from multiple correlated sources are jointly encoded, and each decoder has access to some of the messages to enable it to reproduce the other messages. Both fixed-to-fixed length and fixed-to-variable length los...

We consider the distributed source coding system of L correlated Gaussian sources Yl, l = 1, 2, · · · , L which are noisy observations of correlated Gaussian remote sources Xk, k = 1, 2, · · · ,K. We assume that Y L = (Y1, Y2, · · · , YL) is an observation of the source vector X = (X1, X2, · · · , XK), having the form Y L = AX+N, where A is a L×K matrix and N = (N1, N2, · · · , NL) is a vector ...

We propose source coding algorithms that use the randomness of a past sequence. The proposed algorithms solve the problems of multi-terminal source coding, rate-distortion source coding, and source coding with partial side information at the decoder. We analyze the encoding rate and the decoding error rate in terms of almost-sure convergence. key words: bits-back coding, lossy source coding, mu...
