Refined Strong Converse for the Constant Composition Codes
A strong converse bound for constant composition codes of the form P_e^(n)≥ 1- A n^-0.5(1-E_sc'(R,W,p)) e^-n E_sc(R,W,p) is established using the Berry-Esseen theorem through the concepts of Augustin information and Augustin mean, where A is a constant determined by the channel W, the composition p, and the rate R, i.e., A does not depend on the block length n.
