Abstract

We derive bounds on the error probability of ML decoded LDPC codes; for any binary-input symmetric-output channel. For appropriately chosen ensembles of LDPC codes, reliable communication is possible up to channel capacity. The lower and upper bounds coincide asymptotically, indicating a polynomially decreasing ensemble averaged error probability. For ensembles with suitably chosen parameters, the error probability of almost all codes is exponentially decreasing. Furthermore, the error exponent can be set arbitrarily close to the standard random coding exponent.
