This paper characterizes the trade-offs between information and energy transmission over an additive white Gaussian noise channel in the finite block-length regime with finite sets of channel input symbols. These trade-offs are characterized using impossibility and achievability bounds on the information transmission rate, energy transmission rate, decoding error probability (DEP) and energy outage probability (EOP) for a finite block-length code. Given a set of channel input symbols, the impossibility results identify the tuples of information rate, energy rate, DEP and EOP that cannot be achieved by any code using the given set of channel inputs. A novel method for constructing a family of codes that satisfy a target information rate, energy rate, DEP and EOP is also proposed. The achievability bounds identify the set of tuples of information rate, energy rate, DEP and EOP that can be simultaneously achieved by the constructed family of codes. The proposed construction matches the impossibility bounds for the information rate, energy rate, and the EOP. However, for a given information rate, energy rate and EOP, the achieved DEP is higher than the impossibility bound due to the choice of the decoding sets made during the code construction.
