Title
Low SNR Capacity of Fading Channels with Peak and Average Power Constraints
Abstract
Flat-fading channels that are correlated in time are consid ered under peak and average power constraints. For discrete-time channels, a new upper bound on the capacity per unit time is derived. A low SNR analysis of a full- scattering vector channel is used to derive a complimentary lower bound. Together, these bounds allow us to identify the exact scaling of channel capacity for a fixed peak to avera ge ratio, as the average power converges to zero. The upper bound is also asymptotically tight as the average power converges to zero for a fixed peak power. For a continuous time infinite bandwidth channel, Viterbi id entified the capacity for M-FSK modulation. Recently, Zhang and Laneman showed that the capacity can be achieved with non-bursty signaling (QPSK). An additional contribution of this paper is to obtain similar results unde r peak and average power constraints.
