abstract = {In this correspondence, we describe an approach for the identification of good distance spectra for possibly existing binary linear block codes based on linear programming and the MacWilliams–Delsarte identities. Specifically, the linear program is defined by an expression characterizing the performance of a potential code in terms of its distance spectrum and constraints imposed by the MacWilliams–Delsarte identities. Using the union bound to characterize performance, our results suggest that the best distance spectrum is not a function of signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) above the cutoff rate SNR and also suggest the existence of several unknown, good codes. Characterizing the performance using the maximum spectral error component of the union bound suggests spectral thinning with decreasing SNR.},

pages = {3003-3008},

abstract = {New bounds are proposed for the Marcum Q-function, which is defined by an integral expression where the 0th-order modified Bessel function appears. The proposed bounds are derived by suitable approximations of the 0th-order modified Bessel function in the integration region of the Marcum Q-function. They prove to be very tight and outperform bounds previously proposed in the literature. In particular, the proposed bounds are noticeably good for large values of the parameters of the Marcum Q-function, where previously introduced bounds fail and where exact computation of the function becomes critical due to numerical problems.},
