Blahut, Richard E. Jana, Soumya 2015-09-25T20:08:57Z 2015-09-25T20:08:57Z 10000-01-01 2005 2005 In fact, we set distributed source coding problems in a general framework and take a unified structural view of not only the above open problems but any two-terminal problem with noncooperative encoding. The distortion criteria, if applicable, are required to apply to single letters and be bounded. The key to the above unification is held by a fundamental source coding principle which dissociates the underlying source coding mechanism from the applicable distortion criteria and extends the typicality arguments of Shannon and Wyner-Ziv. We generalize our theory further to show that distortion criteria can also be dissociated from the underlying coding mechanism in an arbitrary multiterminal setup. As in the two-terminal problem, the general achievable region permits an infinite order information-theoretic description. Moreover, we validate our analysis by rederiving known coding theorems using our technique: Our infinite order descriptions are shown to simplify to the expected first order in the known cases.
