Contribution
It develops novel upper and lower bounds based on generalized weights, hierarchy, and spectra, enhancing the analysis of error probabilities in erasure channels.
Findings
Bounds often coincide, providing exact error probability estimates.
Improved bounds lead to better code performance analysis.
Results apply to MDS and AMDS codes.
Abstract
New upper and lower bounds for the error probability over an erasure channel are provided, making use of Wei's generalized weights, hierarchy and spectra. In many situations the upper and lower bounds coincide and this allows improvement of existing bounds. Results concerning MDS and AMDS codes are deduced from those bounds.
