  • Abstract
    For memoryless discrete-time sources and bounded single-letter distortion measures, we derive a bound on the average per-letter distortion achievable by a trellis source code of fixed constraint length. For any fixed code rate greater than R(D^{\\ast }) , the rate-distortion function at D^{\\ast } , this bound decreases toward D^{\\ast } exponentially with constraint length.
