IEEE Trans. on Information Theory, Vol.IT-27, No.3, pp.299-308, MAY 1981

  • A source coding problem is considered for cascade and branching communication systems.The achievable rate region is established for the cascade systems and bounds are obtained for the branching systems. Some examples are also included.
  • This result is explained in Section 20.2.1 "Cascade Multiple Description Network" (also see "Bibliographic Notes" on page 520) of the following book:
