  • Abstract
    We show that Gallager´s random coding error exponent of an arbitrary binary-input memoryless symmetric channel is upper-bounded by that of the binary erasure channel and lower-bounded by that of the binary-symmetric channel of the same capacity. We apply the result to find the extremes of the channel dispersion for the aforementioned class of channels.
