Deterministic Identification over Channels without CSI

Abstract

Identification capacities of randomized and deterministic identification were proved to exceed channel capacity for Gaussian channels \emph{with} channel side information (CSI). In this work, we extend deterministic identification to the block fading channels without CSI by applying identification codes for both channel estimation and user identification. We prove that identification capacity is asymptotically higher than transmission capacity even in the absence of CSI. And we also analyze the finite-length performance theoretically and numerically. The simulation results verify the feasibility of the proposed blind deterministic identification in finite blocklength regime.
