Second-Order Coding Rate of Quasi-Static Rayleigh-Product MIMO Channels
share
With the development of innovative applications that require high reliability and low latency, ultra-reliable and low latency communications become critical for wireless networks. In this paper, the second-order coding rate of the coherent quasi-static Rayleigh-product MIMO channel is investigated. We consider the coding rate within O(1/√(()Mn)) of the capacity, where M and n denote the number of transmit antennas and the blocklength, respectively, and derive the closed-form upper and lower bounds for the optimal average error probability. This analysis is achieved by setting up a central limit theorem (CLT) for the mutual information density (MID) with the assumption that the block-length, the number of the scatterers, and the number of the antennas go to infinity with the same pace. To obtain more physical insights, the high and low SNR approximations for the upper and lower bounds are also given. One interesting observation is that rank-deficiency degrades the performance of MIMO systems with FBL and the fundamental limits of the Rayleigh-product channel approaches those of the single Rayleigh case when the number of scatterers approaches infinity. Finally, the fitness of the CLT and the gap between the derived bounds and the performance of practical LDPC coding are illustrated by simulations.
