Abstract

This paper derives a tight asymptotic upper bound on the maximum volume M * cc(n, ∈) of length-n constant-composition codes subject to an average decoding error probability ∈: M bb(n, ∈) = exp{nC - √nV Φ - (1 - ∈) + 1/2 log n + A n, ∈ + o(1)} where Φ is the cdf of the standard normal distribution, and A n, ∈ is a bounded sequence that can be explicitly identified and reduces to a constant in the nonlattice case. A lower bound is presented, differing from the upper bound by an easily computable multiplying constant. These expressions hold under certain regularity assumptions on the channel.
