Abstract

The mismatch capacity of a channel is the highest rate at which reliable communication is possible over the channel with a given (possibly suboptimal) decoding rule. This quantity has been studied extensively for single-letter decoding rules over discrete memoryless channels (DMCs). Here we extend the study to memoryless channels with general alphabets and to channels with memory with possibly non-single-letter decoding rules. We also study the wide-band limit, and, in particular, the mismatch capacity per unit cost, and the achievable rates on an additive-noise spread-spectrum system with single-letter decoding and binary signaling
