The Method of Types for the AWGN Channel
For the discrete-time AWGN channel with a power constraint, we give an alternative derivation for the sphere-packing upper bound on the optimal block error exponent and an alternative derivation for the analogous lower bound on the optimal correct-decoding exponent. The derivations use the method of...

| Summary: | For the discrete-time AWGN channel with a power constraint, we give an alternative derivation for the sphere-packing upper bound on the optimal block error exponent and an alternative derivation for the analogous lower bound on the optimal correct-decoding exponent. The derivations use the method of types with finite alphabets of sizes depending on the block length <i>n</i> and with the number of types sub-exponential in <i>n</i>. |
