Deterministic $K$-identification For Slow Fading Channel (2212.02732v2)

Abstract: Deterministic $K$-identification (DKI) is addressed for Gaussian channels with slow fading (GSF), where the transmitter is restricted to an average power constraint and channel side information is available at the decoder. We derive lower and upper bounds on the DKI capacity when the number of identifiable messages $K$ may grow sub-linearly with the codeword length $n$. As a key finding, we establish that for deterministic encoding, assuming that the number of identifiable messages $K = 2^{\kappa \log n}$ with $\kappa \in [0,1)$ being the identification target rate, the codebook size scales as $2^{(n\log n)R}$, where $R$ is the coding rate.
