Abstract
In this paper, we derive the suboptimal sum-rate distortion bound for encoding correlated Gaussian sources for which the uniform scalar quantizers are used to convert the signals from analog to the discrete form. The correlated discrete signals are further compressed using the lossless Slepian and Wolf encoder. The gap between the suboptimal bound and the inner/outer bounds is also investigated. The result shows that the gap is at most 0.255 bits/sample/source which is far less than the universal bound of 2.45 bits/sample given in M. Maddah-Ali and et al for the three tree-structured Gaussian sources.
