A Refined Scaling Law for Spatially Coupled LDPC Codes Over the Binary Erasure Channel (1904.10410v2)
Published 23 Apr 2019 in cs.IT and math.IT
Abstract: We propose a refined scaling law to predict the finite-length performance in the waterfall region of spatially coupled low-density parity-check codes over the binary erasure channel. In particular, we introduce some improvements to the scaling law proposed by Olmos and Urbanke that result in a better agreement between the predicted and simulated frame error rate. We also show how the scaling law can be extended to predict the bit error rate performance.
