Introduction
Wireless Channel
AWGN channel

where :
•B is the channel BW in Hz.
•P is the transmitted power in watt. n[i]
•C is the capacity of channel in bps.
Shannon's coding theorem proves that a code exist that achieve R arbitrarily
close to C with small BER.
The converse theorem shows that any code with R>C has a BER bounded
away from zero.
The proofs of the coding theorem and converse place no constraints on the
complexity or delay of the system, so it use as upper bound of R that can be
achieved in real communications systems.
CONT.
At the time that Shannon developed his theory of information:
•R over standard telephone lines =100 bps.
•By Shannon, R = 30 kbps
•It was not a useful bound for real systems.
However, breakthroughs in hardware, modulation,
and coding techniques have brought commercial
modems of today very close to the speeds predicted by Shannon in the
1940s.
In fact, current modems can exceed this 30-kbps limit, why ?

EXAMPLE 4.1:
Consider a wireless channel where power falloff with distance follows the formula Pr(d )
= Pt(d0/d )3 for d0 = 10 m. Assume the channel has bandwidth B = 30 kHz and AWGN
with noise PSD N0/2, where N0 = 10−9 W/Hz. For a transmit power of 1W, find the
capacity of this channel for a transmit–receive distance of 100 m and 1 km.
SNR1=33=15dB
C1=152.6Kbit/sec
SNR2=33=15dB
C2=1.4Kbit/sec
Note the significant decrease in capacity at greater distances due to the path-loss
exponent of 3, which greatly reduces received power as distance increases.
4.2 Capacity of Flat Fading Channels :
4k
can not be decoded with negligible error
good Excellent b V. good time
probability.
In this case, a high data rate can be sent over the channel and decoded
correctly except when the channel is in a deep fade.
The probability of outage characterizes the probability of data loss or
equivalently of deep fading.
Shannon “Ergodic” Capacity:
Shannon capacity of a fading channel with receiver CSI for an average power
constraint Ṗ can be obtained by :
Shannon capacity of a fading channel with receiver CSI only is less than the
Shannon capacity of an AWGN channel with the same average SNR.
The Fading will reducing the Shannon Capacity when only the Rx. has the CSI.
CONT.
EXAMPLE 4.2:
Consider a flat fading channel with i.i.d. channel gain √g[i], which can take on
three possible values: √g1 = .05 with probability p1 = .1, √g2 = .5 with
probability p2 = .5, and √g3 = 1 with probability p3 = .4. The transmit power is
10 mW, the noise power spectral density N0/2 has N0 = 10−9 W/Hz, and the
channel bandwidth is 30 kHz.
Assume the receiver has knowledge of the instantaneous value of g[i] but the
transmitter does not. Find the Shannon capacity of this channel and compare
with the capacity of an AWGN channel with the same average SNR.
SNR1=.8333=-.79dB
SNR2=83.333=19.2dB
SNR3=333.33=25dB
C=199.22Kbps
average SNR=175.08=22.43dBC=223.8kbps
Note that this rate is about 25 kbps larger than that of the flat fading channel with
receiver CSI and the same average SNR.
Capacity with outage :
At Transmitter : At Receiver :
specify γmin γ
declare Everyth
Tx will transmit using an ing is
γ
C correspond to min outage fine
If γ [i] is below this cutoff then no data is transmitted over the ith time
interval, so the channel is used at time i only if γ0 ≤ γ [i] < ∞.
The capacity will be by :
CONT.
Note that this multiplexing strategy is not only the way to achieve that
capacity ,it can also be achieved by adapting the Tx. power and sending
at fix rate
Zero-outage capacity & channel Inversion :
It is called zero-outage capacity, since the data rate is fixed under all
channel conditions and there is no channel outage.
It has the advantage of maintaining a fixed data rate over the channel
regardless of channel conditions.
It exhibit a large data-rate reduction relative to Shannon capacity in
extreme fading environments.
for example , in Rayleigh fading,, E[1/γ ] is infinite and thus the zero-outage
capacity is zero
CONT.
EXAMPLE 4.5:
Assume the same channel as in the previous example, with a bandwidth of 30
kHz and three possible received SNRs: γ1 = .8333 with p(γ1) = .1, γ2 = 83.33
with p(γ2 ) = .5, and γ3 = 333.33 with p(γ3) = .4.
Assuming transmitter and receiver CSI, find the zero-outage capacity of this
channel.
E[1/SNR]=.1272C=94.43 kbps.
Note that this is less than half of the Shannon capacity with optimal water-filling
adaptation.

CONT.
The outage capacity is larger when the channel is used for SNRs γ2 and γ3. Even
though the γ3 is significantly larger than γ2 , the fact that this larger SNR occurs
only 40% of the time makes it inefficient to only use the channel in this best state.
