Abstract

In this paper we analyze the bound on the additive white Gaussian noise channel (AWGNC) pseudo-weight of a (c, d)-regular linear block code based on the two largest values λ1 λ2 of the eigenvalues of HTH: wPmin (H) ≥ n 2c-λ2/λ1-λ2. [6]. In particular, we analyze (c, d)-regular quasi-cyclic (QC) codes of length rL described by J × L block parity-check matrices with circulant block entries of size r×r. We proceed by showing how the problem of computing the eigenvalues of the rL×rL matrix HTH can be reduced to the problem of computing eigenvalues for r matrices of size L × L. We also give a necessary condition for the bound to be attained for a circulant matrix H and show a few classes of cyclic codes satisfying this criterion.
