TITLE: On entropy-constrained trellis coded quantization AUTHORS: M. W. Marcellin, JOURNAL: IEEE Transactions on Communications ABSTRACT: An entropy-constrained trellis coded quantization scheme is presented for encoding memoryless sources. A simple 8-state trellis is used to encode the memoryless Gaussian source with mean-squared-error performance within about 0.5 dB of the rate-distortion function. This performance is achieved at all non-negative encoding rates.
