Construction and evaluation of trellis-coded quantizers for memoryless sources

New constructions of trellis waveform coders, trellis-coded quantizers, and trellis-coded vector quantizers are proposed. The performances of the new quantizers are determined for the memoryless Laplacian, Gaussian, and uniform sources. They are better than (for the Gaussian and Laplacian sources) or equal to (for the uniform source) the best previously published results.<
