Remote Empirical Coordination

We apply the framework of imperfect empirical coordination to a two-node setup where the action $X$ of the first node is not observed directly but via $L$ agents who observe independently impaired measurements $\hat X$ of the action. These $L$ agents, using a rate-limited communication that is available to all of them, help the second node to generate the action $Y$ in order to establish the desired coordinated behaviour. When $L<\infty$, we prove that it suffices $R_i\geq I\left(\hat X;\hat{Y}\right)$ for at least one agent whereas for $L\longrightarrow\infty$, we show that it suffices $R_i\geq I\left(\hat X;\hat Y|X\right)$ for all agents where $\hat Y$ is a random variable such that $X-\hat X-\hat Y$ and $\|p_{X,\hat Y}\left(x,y\right)-p_{X,Y}\left(x,y\right)\|_{TV}\leq Δ$ ( $Δ$ is the pre-specified fidelity).
