Abstract

The rate region of Gaussian multiple description coding with individual and central distortion constraints is completely characterized. Specifically, a lower bound and an upper bound are derived for each supporting hyperplane of the rate region, where the lower bound is associated with a max-min game while the upper bound is associated with a min-max game; furthermore, it is shown that these two bounds coincide due to the existence of a saddle point.
