The reverselink channel model is a concatenation of a Gaussian channel and binary erasure channel, which are independent to each other. In generally, the reliability of reverselink is controlled by both channel fading and received SNR. When the erasure rate εr is high, it means the amount of fading of reverselink is very high. Higher erasure rate also means it takes the forwardlink transmitter longer time to accurately filter out a proper forwardlink precoding word and it usually yields higher MIMO precoding mismatch given a certain channel coherent time. Since the unreliable symbols are erased based on their received SNR, the left symbols are more reliable and their reliability is mostly decided by γRL. In this case, the well-known sphere-packing upper bound of Gaussian channel reliability function is
