Asymmetric Evaluations of Erasure and Undetected Error Probabilities
Asymmetric Evaluations of Erasure and Undetected Error Probabilities
The problem of channel coding with the erasure option is revisited for discrete memoryless channels. The interplay between the code rate, the undetected and total error probabilities is characterized. Using the information spectrum method, a sequence of codes of increasing blocklengths n is designed to illustrate this tradeoff. Furthermore, for …
