  • Abstract
    Assuming additive Gaussian noise, a general sufficient condition on the input distribution is established to guarantee that the ratio of mutual information to signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) goes to one half nat as SNR vanishes. The result allows SNR-dependent input distribution and side information.
