Popis
Shrnutí:1 An encoder wishes to minimize the bit rate necessary to guarantee that a decoder is able to calculate a symbol-wise function of a sequence available only at the encoder and a sequence that can be measured only at the decoder. This classical problem, first studied by Yamamoto, is addressed here by including two new aspects: (i) The decoder obtains noisy measurements of its sequence, where the quality of such measurements can be controlled via a cost-constrained "action" sequence; (ii) Measurement at the decoder may fail in a way that is unpredictable to the encoder, thus requiring robust encoding. The considered scenario generalizes known settings such as the Heegard-Berger-Kaspi and the "source coding with a vending machine" problems. The rate-distortion-cost function is derived in relevant special cases, along with general upper and lower bounds. Numerical examples are also worked out to obtain further insight into the optimal system design.
