    Abstract The energy-distortion tradeoff for lossy transmission of sources over multi-user networks is studied. The energydistortion function E(D) is de锟絥ed as the minimum energy required to transmit a source to the receiver within the target distortion D, when there is no restriction on the number of channel uses per source sample. For point-to-point channels, E(D) is shown to be equal to the product of the minimum energy per bit Ebmin and the rate distortion function R(D), indicating the optimality of source-channel separation in this setting. It is shown that the optimal E(D) can also be achieved by the Schalkwijk Kailath (SK) scheme, as well as separate coding, in the presence of perfect channel output feedback. Then, it is shown that the optimality of separation in terms of E(D) does not extend to multi-user networks. The scenario with two encoders observing correlated Gaussian sources in which the encoders communicate to the receiver over a Gaussian multipleaccess channel (MAC) with perfect channel output feedback is studied. First a lower bound on E(D) is provided and compared against two upper bounds achievable by separation and an uncoded SK type scheme, respectively. Even though neither of these achievable schemes meets the lower bound in general, it is shown that their energy requirements lie within a constant gap of E(D) in the low distortion regime, for which the energy requirement grows unbounded. It is shown that the SK based scheme outperforms the separation based scheme in certain scenarios, which establishes the sub-optimality of separation in this multi-user setting. I

We assume a block fading model for both the channel and side information qualities, and assume perfect state information at the receiver, while the transmitter has only a statistical knowledge. We are interested in the expected squared-error distortion for this system. We study separate source-channel coding, uncoded transmission and two joint source-channel transmission schemes based on joint decoding at the receiver: NBJD, that uses no explicit binning and joint decoding of the side information and the channel output at the decoder and HDA, that compresses the source and transmits the error. At the decoder, the quantized codeword is recovered by means of joint decoding of the error and the side information. We extend such techniques to hybrid digital-analog and multi-layer schemes. We study numerically the problem and give results in the finite SNR regime. We provide closed form expressions for the distortion exponent in the high SNR regime
