Quantization as Histogram Segmentation: Optimal Scalar Quantizer Design in Network Systems

Abstract--An algorithm for scalar quantizer design on discrete-alphabet sources is proposed. The proposed algorithm can be used to design fixed-rate and entropy-constrained conventional scalar quantizers, multiresolution scalar quantizers, multiple description scalar quantizers, and Wyner
