A short-coding error parameter for channels with block interference
S. Laufer, Jakov Snyders · IEEE Transactions on Communications · 1992
A short-coding error parameter (SCEP) that provides a bound on the average probability of decoding error for codes with length shorter than the memory length is presented. It is shown that this bound is tighter than the bound based on the conventional cutoff rate and that the SCEP is independent of the channel's memory length, provided the codeword length is shorter than the memory length.>
