We consider a channel-independent decoder which is for i.i.d. random codes what the maximum mutual-information decoder is for constant composition codes. We show that this decoder results in exactly the same i.i.d. random coding error…
We consider irregular product codes.In this class of codes, each codeword is represented by a matrix. The entries in each row (column) of the matrix should come from a component row (column) code. As opposed to (standard) product codes, we…
