摘要
The 'threshold' of a code ensemble can be defined as the noise level at which the block error probability curve crosses 1/2. For ensembles of low-density parity check codes used over the binary erasure channel, the behavior of the threshold for large blocklengths is known in detail. It is characterized by an asymptotic threshold value, and a finite-blocklength shift parameter. Here we present a new method for computing the shift parameter that can be applied to general binary memoryless symmetric channels, and general message passing algorithms. We check that the new approach recovers the known parameters for erasure correction.
