Multiterminal source coding for cascading and feedback refinement systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
Lossy coding problems are investigated for some communication systems in the presense of cascading and/or feedback information channels from decoders so as to refine reproduction messages. This framework provides different types of refinement structures from so-called successive refinement. Three different types of communication systems are considered, i.e. refinement systems in the presense of a cascading channel, a feedback channel, and both channels. Outer and inner bounds of achievable rate-distortion regions for those problems are obtained.

Information-theoretical analysis of index searching: Revised
We present an information-thoeretical viewpoint for similarity-based retrieval along with index structures. This retrieval system has two stages: pruning data items based on the index structures, and matching surviving data items. The first stage is modeled as the Wyner-Ziv problem, while the second stage is considered as a coding problem where some of the decording results are available as par...
متن کاملUniversal source coding for complementary delivery
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...
متن کاملA method for proving multiterminal source coding theorems
The optimal coding problem in two-user white Gaussianchannels with feedback is discussed. The messages are taken as Gauss-Markov processes. The optimal decoder pair and the optimal linear encoderpair are developed. A nonlinear class (additive feedback type) of encoderpairs in which the optimal linear encoder pair is optimal is presented.

متن کاملAn Information-Spectrum Approach to Multiterminal Rate-Distortion Theory
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...
