An alternative to extrinsic information transfer (EXIT) charts called mean squared error (MSE) charts that use a measure related to the MSE instead of mutual information is proposed. Using the relationship between mutual information and…

For information transmission a discrete time channel with independent additive Gaussian noise is used. There is also another channel with independent additive Gaussian noise (the feedback channel), and the transmitter observes without delay…
