Error in the visualizing Capacity bounds of FSO Links over Gamma-Gamma Atmospheric Turbulence Channels Using OOK Signaling?
I simply want to visualize 【Capacity bounds and mutual information】 versus 【SNR $\gamma$(dB) or probability $p$ (The input to the channel is a binomial distribution with parameter $p$)】
But I cannot ...

OFDM system capacity if we double the subcarriers
Suppose we have two OFDM based systems A & B.
System A has $N$ subcarriers and bandwidth $W$, and the number of samples in the CP is 10% of $N$.
System B has $2N$ subcarriers, $2W$ bandwidth and ...

Log-normal shadowing and mean power
Let's assume I'm receiving a signal with power measured in dBm shadowed according to the normal distribution, i.e. $P_{\text{dBm}} \sim N(0,1) $.
If there is also a normally distributed noise power $...

What is the intuition explaining the Shannon-Hartley theorem?
In the digital domain, the signal to noise ratio (SNR) may be interpreted loosely but usefully as the number of discrete or quantized levels one can transmit reliably. For instance, loosely speaking, ...

Achievable rate for MIMO channel with estimated channel matrix
In a MIMO system, if the receiver has perfect CSI, i.e. knows that channel matrix $\boldsymbol{H}$, then the achievable rate is:
$$ R = \log \left|\boldsymbol{I}+\frac{P}{N_RN_T}\boldsymbol{H}\...

Are there any techniques that can achieve higher transmission rate than Shannon capacity?
The maximum bit rate that can be transmitted over a channel with bandwidth B is determined by Shannon C=B log(1+S/N)
Are there any techniques that could break this limit?

Rayleigh Fading
I am calculating the capacity of $K$ channels between a transmitter and $N$ receivers in a cellular scenario. I use the following equation:
$$C_n^k = B\log_2\left(1 + \frac{Ph_n^k}{N_0B + I_n^k}\right)...

Are capacity and spectral efficiency identical for a dicrete-time digital signal?

Why are some Shannon's limit plots exponential rather than logarithmic?
This diagram again. This is clearly not the shape of $\log_2(1+SNR)$ but I very frequently see this instead of this:
But this is also a stupid diagram because it doesn't cross at the origin.
Also why ...

How to send two packets in a point-to-point transmission with NOMA? [duplicate]
If a transmitter T1 has two packets M1 and M2 to send to a receiver R1, can T1 send M1 and M2 at the same time and using the same frequency based on Non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA)?
If T1 sends ...
