This study explores achievable error exponents for the transmission of a finite number of messages M under both one-way noisy feedback and two-way AWGN channels. Achievable error exponent regions are defined and a new active feedback scheme is proposed under almost sure and expected block power constraints. Feedback or interaction leads to error exponent gains in one direction, possibly at the expense of a decrease in the error exponents attained in the other direction.
Achievable error exponents for the one-way with noisy feedback and two-way AWGN channels are derived for the transmission of a finite number of messages M under almost sure (AS) and expected block (EXP) transmit power constraints. In the one-way setting under noisy AWGN feedback, under an AS power constraint, known linear and non-linear passive schemes are modified to incorporate AS constraints in the feedback link as well. In addition, a new active feedback scheme is presented in which the receiver feeds back the most likely pair of codewords, and the transmitter re-transmits which of these two was originally sent. This active feedback scheme outperforms one of the passive feedback schemes for all channel parameters; the linear scheme outperforms the others for low feedback noise variance. Under the EXP constraint, a known achievable error exponent for the transmission of two messages is generalized to any arbitrary but finite number of messages M through the use of simplex codes and erasure decoding. In the two-way AWGN setting, each user has its own message to send in addition to (possibly) aiding in the transmission of feedback for the opposite direction. Two-way error exponent regions are defined and achievable error exponent regions are derived for the first time under both AS and EXP power constraints. For the presented achievability schemes, feedback or interaction leads to error exponent gains in one direction, possibly at the expense of a decrease in the error exponents attained in the other direction. The relationship between M and n supported by our achievable strategies is explored.
