Abstract

In this article, quickly computable upper and lower bounds are presented on the symmetric capacity of flat-faded Rice and Nakagami channels with side information (SI) for data-transmissions via finite-size quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) constellations. The proposed bounds exhibit the appealing feature to be tight and asymptotically exact both for high and low signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs). Furthermore, exponentially tight Chernoff-like formulas are also presented for an analytical evaluation of the resulting system outage probabilities when interleaved packet transmissions are carried out
