摘要
An efficient method for finite-length low-density parity-check (LDPC) code analysis is proposed. This method is based on studying the channel variations when observed during a finite-length codeword. To this end, channel parameters are interpreted as random variables and their distributions are found. Assuming that a decoding failure is the result of an observed channel worse than the code's decoding threshold, the block error probability of finite-length LDPC codes is estimated. Using an extrinsic information transfer chart analysis, bit error probability is obtained from the block error probability. Our results suggest that by considering only the channel variations around its expected behavior and even ignoring the effects of cycles, one can closely predict the performance of LDPC codes of a few thousand bits or longer in the waterfall region.
