Abstract: We determine the informaion capacity of the linear, time-varying
communications channel with additive white Gaussian noise for transmission
signals with support approximately restricted to closed regions of the time and
frequency domains. We address the two-part problem of first, constructing
appropriate transmission functions, and second, determining the mutual
information. Our approach provides a signaling set that is adaptive to the time
and frequency stability of the channel, and we use this set to estimate the
channel's information capacity. In the limiting regime, this approach recovers
the time-invariant capacity up to a redundancy factor.
