Asymptotic Capacity Results on the Discrete-Time Poisson Channel and the Noiseless Binary Channel with Detector Dead
1ETIS Laboratory, UMR 8051-CY University, ENSEA, CNRS, 95014 Cergy, France.
Abstract:
This paper studies the discrete-time Poisson channel and the noiseless binary channel where, after recording a 1, the channel output is stuck at 0 for a certain period; this period is called the "dead time." The communication capacities of these channels are analyzed, with main focus on the regime where the allowed average input power is close to zero, either because the bandwidth is large, or because the available continuous-time input power is low.
