Abstract :
Let be a source of independent identically distributed (i.i.d.) discrete random variables with joint probability mass function and common part in the sense of Witsenhausen, Gacs, and Körner. It is shown that such a source can be sent with arbitrarily small probability of error over a multiple access channel (MAC) with allowed codes if there exist probability mass functions , such that lifts region includes the multiple access channel region and the Slepian-Wolf data compression region as special cases.
