Abstract :
We evaluate the error-correcting performance of a low-density parity-check (LDPC) code in an AWGN channel using a novel dual adaptive importance sampling (DAIS) technique based on multicanonical Monte Carlo (MMC) simulations, that allows us to calculate bit error rates as low as 10-19 for a (96,50) LDPC code without a priori knowledge of how to bias. Our results agree very well with standard MC simulations, as well as the union bound for the code.
