Multiuser successive refinement and multiple description coding [link]Arxiv  abstract   bibtex   
We study the multi-user successive refinement problem (posed in Pradhan and Ramchandran, 2002), where the users are connected to a central server through links with different noiseless capacities. Each user requires to reconstruct the source in a scalable manner. We provide the best known achievable strategy for the two-user, two-layer case and the complete characterization of the rate-distortion region for the Gaussian source under the mean-squared error (MSE) distortion measure.
