Concatenated codes with fixed inner code and random outer code
Alexander Barg, JØrn Justesen, C. Thommesen · IEEE Transactions on Information Theory · 2001
We derive lower bounds on the distance and error exponent of the coding scheme described in the title. The bounds are compared to the parameters and error performance of a concatenated code family with varying inner codes of equal rates and a fixed minimum-distance separable (MDS) code as the outer code, letting the inner and outer code lengths approach infinity.
