RT Conference Proceedings T1 Saddlepoint Approximations for Noncoherent Single-Antenna Rayleigh Block-Fading Channels A1 Lancho Serrano, Alejandro A1 Östman, Johan A1 Durisi, Giuseppe A1 Koch, Tobias Mirco A1 Vázquez Vilar, Gonzalo AB This paper presents saddlepoint approximations of state-of-the-art converse and achievability bounds for noncoherent, single-antenna, Rayleigh block-fading channels. These approximations can be calculated efficiently and are shown to be accurate for SNR values as small as 0 dB, blocklengths of 168 channel uses or more, and when the channel's coherence interval is not smaller than two. It is demonstrated that the derived approximations recover both the normal approximation and the reliability function of the channel.
