Forward-Aware Information Bottleneck-Based Vector Quantization: Multiterminal Extensions for Parallel and Successive Retrieval
enjoying the Mutual Information as their fidelity criterion. Specifically, the forms of stationary points for two types of distributed compression schemes are characterized here. Subsequently, those acquired [...] the category of Successive Upper-Bound Minimization , ensuring their convergence to a stationary point. Eventually, the effectiveness of the proposed compression schemes will be substantiated as well by
