TL;DR
An achievable rate-distortion region is derived for the state-dependent discrete memoryless multiple access channel (SD-DMMAC), where the generalized feedback and causal side information are present at encoders, and the decoder performs the joint task of message decoding and state estimation.
Abstract
This paper derives an achievable rate-distortion (R-D) region for the state-dependent discrete memoryless multiple access channel (SD-DMMAC), where the generalized feedback and causal side information are present at encoders, and the decoder performs the joint task of message decoding and state estimation. The Markov coding and backward-forward two-stage decoding schemes are adopted in the proof. This scenario is shown to be capable of modeling various integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) applications, including the monostatic-uplink system and multi-modal sensor networks, which are then studied as examples.
