Michail Mylonakis, Photios A. Stavrou, Mikael Skoglund

TL;DR
This paper extends empirical coordination to a distributed setting with multiple descriptions, improving the coordination region bounds by applying advanced coding schemes from prior work.
Contribution
It introduces a new framework for empirical coordination with multiple descriptions and enhances the achievable coordination region using established coding strategies.
Findings
Lower bound of the coordination region established
Improved the coordination region with Zhang and Berger's coding scheme
Provides theoretical bounds for distributed empirical coordination
Abstract
We extend the framework of empirical coordination to a distributed setup where for a given action by nature, multiple descriptions of the action of the decoder are available. We adopt the coding strategy applied by El Gamal and Cover in \cite{gamal:1982} to get a lower bound of the coordination region. Then, we improve this region by applying the coding scheme applied by Zhang and Berger in \cite{zhang:1987}.
