Probabilistic Shaping for Finite Blocklengths: Distribution Matching and Sphere Shaping

In this paper, we provide a systematic comparison of distribution matching (DM) and sphere shaping (SpSh) algorithms for short blocklength probabilistic amplitude shaping. For asymptotically large blocklengths, constant composition distribution matching (CCDM) is known to generate the target capacit...
