 Shannon Capacity
Defined as the maximum
mutual information of channel
Maximum error-free data rate a
channel can support.
Theoretical limit (not
achievable)
Channel characteristic
Notdependent on design
techniques
 Capacity of Flat-Fading
Channels
Capacity defines theoretical rate
limit
Maximum error free rate a channel
can support
Depends on what is known about
channel

Transmitter and
Receiver

For fixed transmit power, same

as with only receiver knowledge
of fading
Transmit power P( ) can also be
adapted

 Channel Inversion
Fading inverted to maintain
constant SNR
Simplifies design (fixed rate)
Greatly reduces capacity
Capacity is zero in Rayleigh

 Main Points

Fundamental channel capacity defines

maximum data rate that can be
supported on a channel

Capacity in fading depends what is

known at TX/RX

Capacity with RX CSI is average of
