  • Abstract
    A simple approximation for the symmetric capacity of Rayleigh fading channels with finite input alphabet and ideal channel state information is proposed in this letter. This approximation is quite tight over all SNR ranges and can be considered as a good alternative for estimating the symmetric channel capacity for both AWGN and Rayleigh fading channels.
