Code Spectrum and Reliability Function: Binary Symmetric Channel

Information Theory 2007-07-16 v1 math.IT

Abstract

A new approach for upper bounding the channel reliability function using the code spectrum is described. It allows to treat in a unified way both a low and a high rate cases. In particular, the earlier known upper bounds are improved, and a new derivation of the sphere-packing bound is presented.
