We show that the channel distortion for maximum-entropy encoders, due to noise on a binary-symmetric channel, is minimized if the vector quantizer can be expressed as a linear transform of a hypercube. The index assignment problem is regarded as a problem of linearizing the vector quantizer. We define classes of index assignments with related properties, within which the best index assignment is found by sorting, not searching. Two powerful algorithms for assigning indices to the codevectors of nonredundant coding systems are presented.
