Causal source codes are defined. These include quantizers, delta modulators, differential pulse code modulators, and adaptive versions of these. Several types of causal codes are identified. For memoryless sources it is shown that the optimum performance attainable by causal codes can be achieved by memoryless codes or by time-sharing memoryless codes. This optimal performance can be evaluated straightforwardly.
