Abstract

We consider the problem of scalable source coding with decoder side informations. Two special cases of this problem have been investigated in the literature, namely successive refinement Wyner-Ziv (SR-WZ) coding and side-information scalable (SI-Scalable) coding, whose distinction Res in the degradedness of the side informations. In this work, we first show the achievable region for the SI-scalable problem provided in a previous work is tight when either the first stage or the second stage requires lossless reconstruction. Then the notion of perfectly scalable coding is introduced as both the stages operate on the Wyner-Ziv bound, and a set of necessary and sufficient conditions is given for sources satisfying a mild support condition. Furthermore, generalizing the coding scheme for the SR-WZ and SI-scalable coding, we provide a conclusive solution for the (multi-stage) quadratic Gaussian scalable coding problem with jointly Gaussian side informations in an arbitrary order of quality.

International System of Units

The International System of Units, internationally known by the abbreviation SI (for Système International), is the modern form of the metric system and the world's most widely used system of measurement. Established and maintained by the General Conference on Weights and Measures (CGPM), it is the only system of measurement with an official status in nearly every country in the world, employed in science, technology, industry, and everyday commerce.

Information theory

Information theory is the mathematical study of the quantification, storage, and communication of information. The field was originally established by the works of Harry Nyquist and Ralph Hartley, in the 1920s, and Claude Shannon in the 1940s. The field, in applied mathematics, is at the intersection of probability theory, statistics, computer science, statistical mechanics, information engineering, and electrical engineering. A key measure in information theory is entropy.

Mutual information

In probability theory and information theory, the mutual information (MI) of two random variables is a measure of the mutual dependence between the two variables. More specifically, it quantifies the "amount of information" (in units such as shannons (bits), nats or hartleys) obtained about one random variable by observing the other random variable. The concept of mutual information is intimately linked to that of entropy of a random variable, a fundamental notion in information theory that quantifies the expected "amount of information" held in a random variable.
