• Quantizer closest to realization

Decoding in Slepian-Wolf

• Decoder knows joint distribution of y1, y2

• It is given the two quantizer numbers from the encoders

• Picks the pair of points in the quantizers which best matches

the joint distribution

– For jointly Gaussian y1, y2 nearest neighbor type test

• R1 + R2 = H (y1, y2) is sufficient for zero distortion

Deterministic Broadcast Channel

y2 = g(x)

y1 = f(x)

• Pick distribution on x such that y1, y2 have desired joint dis-

tribtion (Cover 98)

Slepian-Wolf code for Broadcast Channel

• Encoding: implement Slepian-Wolf decoder

– given two messages, find the appropriate pair y1, y2 in the

two quantizers

– transmit x that generates this pair y1, y2.

• Encoding: implement Slepian-Wolf decoder

– given two messages, find the appropriate pair y1, y2 in the

• Decoding: implement Slepian-Wolf encoder

– quantize y1, y2 to nearest point

– messages are the quantizer numbers

• Approximate y1, y2 by u1, u2


• Encoding: Find ui that matches source yi, separately for

each i

– For jointly Gaussian r.v. s, nearest neighbor calculation

– Each encoder sends quantizer number containing the u

picked


• Encoding: Find ui that matches source yi, separately foreach i

– For jointly Gaussian r.v. s, nearest neighbor calculation

– Each encoder sends quantizer number containing the u

picked

• Decoding: Reconstruct the u’s picked by the encoders

– reconstruction based on joint distribution of u’s

– Previously ui = yi were correlated

– Here u’s are independently picked

Lossy Slepian-Wolf

• We require

p [u1, . . . , uK|y1, . . . , yK] = ΠKi=1p [ui|yi]

Lossy Slepian-Wolf

• We require


• Generate n1, . . . , nK deterministically from reconstructed u’s.

• Need sum rate

Rsum = I (u1, . . . , uK; y1, . . . , yK) .

• Distortion equal to

E [d (n, n)] .

• Joint distribution of u’s and y’s depends on noise z

• Performance independent of correlation in z

Noise Coloring

• Fix particular Costa coding scheme - fixes u’s and x.

• Idea:

Choose z such that


and (Kz)ii = 1

• Then can adapt to Lossy Multiterminal Source Coding

Markov Condition and Broadcast Channel

• The Markov condition


of independent interest in the broadcast channel





•

p [u1, . . . , uK|y1, . . . , yK] = ΠKi=1p

[ui|y1, . . . , yK, u1, u2, . . . , ui−1

]





•

p [u1, . . . , uK|y1, . . . , yK] = ΠKi=1p

[ui|y1, . . . , yK, u1, u2, . . . , ui−1

]

• Equivalent to: given u1, . . . , ui−1

ui −→ yi −→ y1, . . . , yi−1, yi+1, . . . , yK

u2

• Need only y1 to decode u1

• Given u1, need only y2 to decode u2

Performance of Costa scheme equals that when receivers

cooperate

Markov Condition and Noise Covariance

• The sum capacity is also achieved by such a scheme

(CS 01, YC 01, VT 02, VJG 02)

• For every Costa scheme, there is a choice of Kz such that

Markov condition holds (Yu and Cioffi, 01)

Discussion

• A “connection” made between coding schemes for multiter-

minal source and channel coding

Discussion

• A “connection” made between coding schemes for multiter-

minal source and channel coding

• Connection somewhat superficial

– relation between source coding and broadcast channel

through a common random coding argument (PR 02, CC

02)

– relation between source coding and multiple access chan-

nel through a change of variable (VT 02, JVG 01)

Discussion

• A “connection” made between coding schemes for multiter-minal source and channel coding

• Connection somewhat superficial

– relation between source coding and broadcast channelthrough a common random coding argument

– relation between source coding and multiple access chan-nel through a change of variable

• Connection is suggestive

– a codebook level duality
