There is a known best possible upper bound on the probability of undetected error for linear codes. The $[n,k;q]$ codes with probability of undetected error meeting the bound have support of size $k$ only. In this note, linear codes of full…

We provide a general framework for bounding the block error threshold of a linear code $C\subseteq \mathbb{F}_2^N$ over the erasure channel in terms of its bit error threshold. Our approach relies on understanding the minimum support weight…

Forward error correcting (FEC) codes are used in many communication standards with a wide range of re quirements. FEC codes should work close to capacity, achieve low error floors, and have low decoding complexity. In this paper, we propose…

We consider spatially coupled code ensembles. A particular instance are convolutional LDPC ensembles. It was recently shown that, for transmission over the memoryless binary erasure channel, this coupling increases the belief propagation…
