Abstract

The feedback capacity of a single-input single-output fading channel
with memory is investigated. It is shown that asymptotically, as the
signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) tends to infinity, noiseless feedback
does not increase capacity.

More specifically, for finite-energy stationary and ergodic fading
processes that are regular (i.e., that have a finite differential
entropy rate) feedback does not increase the "fading number"; and for
Gaussian fading processes that are non-regular feedback does not
increase the "pre-log".


Keywords

Channel capacity, fading channels, fading number, feedback, high SNR,
pre-log, regular and non-regular fading processes.
