Robust Distributed Compression of Symmetrically Correlated Gaussian Sources

Consider a lossy compression system with $\ell $ -distributed encoders and a centralized decoder. Each encoder compresses its observed source and forwards the compressed data to the decoder for joint reconstruction of the target signals under the mean-squared-error distortion constraint. It is assumed that the observed sources can be expressed as the sum of the target signals and the corruptive noises, which are generated independently from two …
