Saddlepoint Approximations for Noncoherent Single-Antenna Rayleigh Block-Fading Channels
Paper in proceeding, 2019

This paper presents saddlepoint approximations of state-of-the-art converse and achievability bounds for noncoherent, single-antenna, Rayleigh block-fading channels. These approximations can be calculated efficiently and are shown to be accurate for SNR values as small as 0 dB, blocklengths of 168 channel uses or more, and when the channel's coherence interval is not smaller than two. It is demonstrated that the derived approximations recover both the normal approximation and the reliability function of the channel.
