IEEE Transactions on Information Theory, 67(6), pp. 3965–3985.0018-9448https://hdl.handle.net/10016/33505This paper studies the performance of block coding on an additive white Gaussian noise channel under different power limitations at the transmitter. New lower bounds are presented for the minimum error probability of codes satisfying maximal and average power constraints. These bounds are tighter than previous results in the finite blocklength regime, and yield a better understanding on the structure of good codes under an average power limitation. Evaluation of these bounds for short and moderate blocklengths is also discussed.21eng© 2021, IEEE.Average power constraintChannel codingConstellation designFinite blocklength analysisGaussian channelHypothesis testingMaximal power constraintMeta-converseresearch articleTelecomunicacioneshttps://doi.org/10.1109/TIT.2021.3063311open access396563985IEEE Transactions on Information Theory67AR/0000028518
