Polar codes for coordination in cascade networks

We consider coordination in cascade networks and construct sequences of polar codes that achieve any point in a special region of the empirical coordination capacity region.Our design combines elements of source coding to generate actions with the desired type with elements of channel coding to minimize the communication rate.Moreover, we bound the probability of malfunction of a polar code for empirical coordination.Possible generalizations and open problems are discussed.
