It is well known that for Gaussian channels, a nearest neighbor decoding rule, which seeks the minimum Euclidean distance between codeword and received channel output vector, maximum likelihood solution hence capacity-achieving. Nearest remains convenient yet mismatched general key message of this paper performance can be improved by generalizing its metric to incorporate state dependent proces...
