Code Spectrum and the Reliability Function: Binary Symmetric Channel

M. V. Burnashev

Institute for Information Transmission Problems, Russian Academy of Sciences

Abstract: A new approach for upper bounding the channel reliability function using the code spectrum is described. It allows to treat both the low and high rate cases in a unified way. In particular, previously known upper bounds are improved, and a new derivation of the sphere-packing bound is presented.
