Title
Random coding techniques for nonrandom codes
Abstract
This work provides techniques to apply the channel coding theorem and the resulting error exponent, which was originally derived for totally random block-code ensembles, to ensembles of codes with less restrictive randomness demands. As an example, the random coding technique can even be applied for an ensemble that contains a single code. For a specific linear code, we get an upper bound for the error probability, which equals Gallager's (1968) random coding bound, up to a factor determined by the maximum ratio between the weight distribution of the code, and the expected random weight distribution
