Abstract

The error performance of the ensemble of typical low-definition parity-check (LDPC) codes transmitted over the binary erasure channel (BEC) is analyzed. In the past, lower bounds on the error exponents were derived. In this paper, a probabilistic upper bound on this error exponent is derived. This bound holds with some confidence level.
