We consider multiple description source coding problem with Gaussian source and mean squared error, for descriptions. We obtain an outer bound for the rate region of the problem. We also derive an inner bound for the problem based on successively refineability of the Gaussian source and multi-level diversity coding. Our gap analysis shows that the difference between two bounds is less than bits, in the worst case.
