Abstract
We study Gaussian i.i.d. codebooks and nearest neighbor decoding over continuous-alphabet channels. We define a class of compound channels that are within a small radius relative entropy ball centered at the nearest neighbor decoding metric. We derive approximations to the worst-case achievable rates and find the penalty terms proportional to the square root of the ball radius.
