On Achievable Distortion in Sending Gaussian Sources over a Bandwidth-Matched Gaussian MAC with No Transmitter CSI

This paper investigates the minimum mean square error (MMSE) of communicating a pair of Gaussian sources over a a bandwidth-matched Gaussian multiple-access channel with block Rayleigh fading in the absence of channel state information (CSI) at the transmitters. The achievable MMSE is not known. To...

description This paper investigates the minimum mean square error (MMSE) of communicating a pair of Gaussian sources over a a bandwidth-matched Gaussian multiple-access channel with block Rayleigh fading in the absence of channel state information (CSI) at the transmitters. The achievable MMSE is not known. To this end, we derive several upper-bounds to the minimum achievable average MMSE as a function of the transmitter powers, the average channel fading power-to-noise ratio, and the correlation coefficient of the two sources. To derive nontrivial upper bounds which improve on those of separate source-channel coding and uncoded transmission, we incorporate ideas from joint source-channel coding and hybrid digital−analog coding to construct specific coding schemes for which the achievable MMSE can be determined.
