Abstract :
We consider the optimal transmission of distributed correlated discrete memoryless sources across a network with capacity constraints. We present several previously undiscussed structural properties of the set of feasible rates and transmission schemes. These properties are then applied to develop a characterization of an optimal solution and its connection to the corner points of the Slepian-Wolf rate region.
