Abstract :
In this letter, we propose an estimate for the block erasure probability of turbo codes with an iterative decoding in a waterfall region, which is nonlinearly scaled by the information blocklength. This estimate can be used to predict efficiently the block erasure probability of the finite-length turbo codes over a binary erasure channel
