Polar coding for multiple descriptions using monotone chain rules

Alankrita Bhatt, Nadim Ghaddar, Lele Wang

Abstract: In this paper, we present a polar coding scheme for the multiple description coding problem. The proposed scheme improves upon the existing joint polarization based scheme by Shi, Song, Tian, Chen, and Dumitrescu and achieves the entire El Gamal-Cover inner bound for this problem.
