SPECTRE: short packet communication toolbox
A toolbox for the computation of achievability and converse bound in finite blocklength information theory
Dec 21, 2014
Shannon theory describes fundamental limits of communication and聽
compression systems.聽
Classic closed-form results (such as the well known log(1 + SNR) formula) apply only to the regime of infinite blocklength (infinite packet size/ infinite delay).
For finite blocklengths, no closed-form results are usually obtainable,聽
but there exist tight upper and lower bounds on fundamental limits, as well as approximations.
The idea behind the SPECTRE project is to create a toolbox that聽
provides numerical routines for the computation of these bounds and these approximations.
The current version of the toolbox is available on github at the following url:

The toolbox is under development and the participation of聽 补诲诲颈迟颈辞苍补濒听 members of the information and communication theory communities聽 to this endeavor is warmly welcomed!聽
