New Non-asymptotic Random Channel Coding Theorems

New non-asymptotic random coding theorems (with error probability $\epsilon$ and finite block length $n$) based on Gallager parity check ensemble and Shannon random code ensemble with a fixed codeword type are established for discrete input arbitrary output channels. The resulting non-asymptotic achievability bounds, when combined with non-asymptotic equipartition properties developed in the paper, can be easily computed. Analytically, these non-asymptotic achievability bounds are shown to be asymptotically tight up to the second order of the coding rate as $n$ goes to infinity with either constant or sub-exponentially decreasing $\epsilon$. Numerically, they are also compared favourably, for finite $n$ and $\epsilon$ of practical interest, with existing non-asymptotic achievability bounds in the literature in general.Comment: 48 pages and 12 figure
