Simulation Results

BER thresholds provide only limited insights for design
• 𝑡 = 12 BCH outer code achieves
FER = 3 × 10−6 at 0.96 dB.
• With ∞-interleaver, 𝑡 = 1 BCH outer code
would achieve FER= 4 × 10−9 at 0.96 dB.

Design by BER Spectrum
Quantify inner code performance by BER Spectrum, i.e., the statistics of
the fraction of erroneous bits per frame.
Use BER spectrum for design:
For given 𝑡, design inner code with constraint Pr #errors > t < target FER.
For given inner code, choose 𝑡 so that Pr #errors > t <target FER.

Interpretation
Page 13
FEC Overhead
FEC RateUncertainty
• For FEC overhead larger than uncertainty, exponent is negative.
• Backing-off in FEC rate leads to exponential decay of probability to
pick a bad code.
• Uncertainty identifies the phase transition to the possible.
Works for any measurement 𝑥𝑛, 𝑦𝑛 without any further assumptions.

Example
Page 15
• QPSK Measurement with 𝑛 =10 million bits at 1 dB SNR.
• FEC block length 𝑛FEC =10 000.
Threshold
Use all 10 million samples to estimate
uncertainty 𝑈𝑞 = 0.4373 bits
FEC overhead 0.4373 bits is
achievable, asymptotically in the
blocklength.
blocklength is finite, we have to back-
off, how much?
Spectrum
Split measurement in 𝑛
𝑛FEC= 1000 chunks.
Calculate 1000 uncertainties.
Plot the spectrum
Back-off to FEC overhead 0.47 bits.
Corresponds to 0.42 dB back-off in SNR.
𝑈 = 0.4373
Note: finite-length informationi theory
accounts for variance, e.g., Polyankiy
et al “Channel coding rate in the
finite blocklength regime,” ITT 2010.

Conclusions

Observations
• Spectra account for finite-length effects.
• Spectra account for correlations created by components.
Alternative to threshold and ∞-interleaver.
Possible Directions
• New criteria for design of concatenated components?
• To design components with desired spectra, can we borrow
from rate-distortion theory or information-theoretic security?
• Shorter interleaver, better systems?
