We study the discrete-time Poisson channel under the constraint that its average input power (in photons per channel use) must not exceed some constant E. We consider the wideband, high-photon-efficiency extreme where E approaches zero, and…
New capacity upper bounds are presented for the discrete-time Poisson channel with no dark current and an average-power constraint. These bounds are a simple consequence of techniques developed for the seemingly unrelated problem of upper…
We derive improved and easily computable upper bounds on the capacity of the discrete-time Poisson channel under an average-power constraint and an arbitrary constant dark current term. This is accomplished by combining a general convex…
Deterministic identification (DI) for the discrete-time Poisson channel, subject to an average and a peak power constraint, is considered. It is established that the code size scales as $2^{(n\log n)R}$, where $n$ and $R$ are the block…
The first terms of the low-signal-energy asymptotics for the mutual information in the discrete-time Poisson channel are derived and compared to an asymptotic expression of the capacity. In the presence of non-zero additive noise (either…
We propose an iterative method for approximately computing the capacity of discrete memoryless channels, possibly under additional constraints on the input distribution. Based on duality of convex programming, we derive explicit upper and…
In this paper, we study two types of optical wireless channels under average-intensity constraints. One is called the Gaussian optical intensity channel, where the channel output models the converted electrical current corrupted by additive…
A simple lower bound to the capacity of the discrete-time Poisson channel with average energy $\es$ is derived. The rate ${1/2}\log(1+\es)$ is shown to be the generalized mutual information of a modified minimum-distance decoder, when the…
This work considers a discrete-time Poisson noise channel with an input amplitude constraint $\mathsf{A}$ and a dark current parameter $\lambda$. It is known that the capacity-achieving distribution for this channel is discrete with…
This work considers a Poisson noise channel with an amplitude constraint. It is well-known that the capacity-achieving input distribution for this channel is discrete with finitely many points. We sharpen this result by introducing upper…
The continuous-time, peak-limited, infinite-bandwidth Poisson channel with spurious counts is considered. It is shown that if the times at which the spurious counts occur are known noncausally to the transmitter but not to the receiver,…
This paper considers a discrete time-Poisson noise channel which is used to model pulse-amplitude modulated optical communication with a direct-detection receiver. The goal of this paper is to obtain insights into the capacity and the…
New upper and lower bounds are presented on the capacity of the free-space optical intensity channel. This channel is characterized by inputs that are nonnegative (representing the transmitted optical intensity) and by outputs that are…
New upper and lower bounds are presented on the capacity of the free-space optical intensity channel. This channel is characterized by inputs that are nonnegative (representing the transmitted optical intensity) and by outputs that are…
This paper investigates the design of the capacity-achieving input distribution for the discrete-time Poisson channel (DTPC) under dark current effects with low-precision analog-to-digital converters (ADCs). This study introduces an…
Motivated by results in optical communications, where the performance can degrade dramatically if the transmit power is sufficiently increased, the channel capacity is characterized for various kinds of memoryless vector channels. It is…
We develop bounds on the capacity of Poisson-repeat channels (PRCs) for which each input bit is independently repeated according to a Poisson distribution. The upper bounds are obtained by considering an auxiliary channel where the output…
The capacity of fading channels under peak and average power constraints in the low-SNR regime is investigated. We show that the capacity scales essentially as ${C \approx A \ \text{SNR} \int_{1- \frac{1}{A}}^1 F^{-1}\left(t\right)dt}$,…
This paper studies the capacity of the peak-and-average-power-limited Gaussian channel when its output is quantized using a dithered, infinite-level, uniform quantizer of step size $\Delta$. It is shown that the capacity of this channel…
Flat-fading channels that are correlated in time are considered 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…
