CTH04-5: A New Iterative Algorithm for Calculating the Capacity of Discrete Memoryless Channels
Xue-Bin Liang · Globecom · 2006
In this paper, we present a new iterative algorithm for calculating the capacity of discrete memoryless channels. The proposed algorithm is comparable in simplicity and effectiveness to the well-known Arimoto-Blahut algorithm. In addition, we provide a short and elementary proof for the convergence of the Arimoto-Blahut algorithm.
