Abstract
This paper shows that, under the average error probability formalism, the third-order term in the normal approximation for the additive white Gaussian noise channel with a maximal or equal power constraint is at least 1 over 2 log n+O(1). This improves on the lower bound by Polyanskiy-Poor-Verdú (2010) and matches the upper bound proved by the same authors.
