Fixed-Length Strong Coordination

Abstract

We consider the problem of synthesizing joint distributions of signals and actions over noisy channels in the finite-length regime. For a fixed blocklength $n$ and an upper bound on the distance $\epsilon$, a coding scheme is proposed such that the induced joint distribution is $\epsilon$-close in $L^1$ distance to a target i.i.d. distribution. The set of achievable target distributions and rate for asymptotic strong coordination can be recovered from the main result of this paper by having $n$ that tends to infinity.
