Abstract
In this paper, we are concerned with the finite-length analysis of
low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes when used over the binary erasure
channel (BEC). The main result is an expression for the exact average
bit and block erasure probability for a given regular ensemble of LDPC
codes when decoded iteratively. We also give expressions for upper
bounds on the average bit and block erasure probability for regular LDPC
ensembles and the standard random ensemble under maximum-likelihood (ML)
decoding. Finally, we present what we consider to be the most important
open problems in this area
