Free Pseudodistance Growth Rates for Spatially Coupled LDPC Codes over the BEC
Cunlu Zhou, David G. M. Mitchell, Roxana Smarandache
The minimum pseudoweight is an important parameter related to the decoding performance of LDPC codes with iterative message-passing decoding. In this paper, we consider ensembles o…
