Error Probability Bounds for Gaussian Channels under Maximal and Average Power Constraints
share
This paper studies the performance of block coding on an additive white Gaussian noise channel under different power limitations at the transmitter. Lower bounds are presented for the minimum error probability of codes satisfying maximal and average power constraints. These bounds are tighter than previous results in the finite blocklength regime, and yield a better understanding on the structure of good codes under an average power limitation. Evaluation techniques for short and moderate blocklengths are also discussed.
