  • The source coding problems are studied on the Slepian-Wolf-type system with a remote source (Fig.1) and the Wyner-Ziv-type system with a remote source (Fig.4). For the former,inner and outer bounds are obtained on the admissible rate region to attain a prescribed distortion tolerance. For the latter, the rate-distortion function is derived. As examples,a Gaussian remote source and a binary remote source are analyzed.
