Asymptotics of input-constrained binary symmetric channel capacity

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: We study the classical problem of noisy constrained capacity in the case of the binary symmetric channel (BSC), namely, the capacity of a BSC whose inputs are sequences chosen from a constrained set. Motivated by a result of Ordentlich and Weissman [In Proceedings of IEEE Information Theory Workshop (2004) 117--122], we derive an asymptotic formula (when the noise parameter is small) for the entropy rate of a hidden Markov chain, observed when a Markov chain passes through a BSC. Using this result, we establish an asymptotic formula for the capacity of a BSC with input process supported on an irreducible finite type constraint, as the noise parameter tends to zero.
