Generalized Gaussian Multiterminal Source Coding: The Symmetric Case

Consider a generalized multiterminal source coding system, where $\binom{\ell }{ m}$ encoders, each observing a distinct size- $m$ subset of $\ell $ ( $\ell \geq 2$ ) zero-mean unit-variance exchangeable Gaussian sources with correlation coefficient $\rho $ , compress their observations in such a way that a joint decoder can reconstruct the sources within a prescribed mean squared error distortion based on the compressed data. The optimal …
