A Lower Bound on the Expected Distortion of Joint Source-Channel Coding

We consider the classic joint source-channel coding problem of transmitting a memoryless source over a memoryless channel. The focus of this work is on the rate of convergence of the smallest attainable expected distortion to its asymptotic value, as a function of blocklength n. Our main result is t...
