Summary :

In channel decoding, a decoder with suboptimal metrics may be used because of the uncertainty of the channel statistics or the limitations of the decoder. In this case, the decoding metric is different from the actual channel metric, and thus it is called mismatched decoding. In this paper, applying the technique of the DS2 bound, we derive an upper bound on the error probability of mismatched decoding over a regular channel for the ensemble of linear block codes, which was defined by Hof, Sason and Shamai. Assuming the ensemble of random linear block codes defined by Gallager, we show that the obtained bound is not looser than the conventional bound. We also give a numerical example for the ensemble of LDPC codes also introduced by Gallager, which shows that our proposed bound is tighter than the conventional bound. Furthermore, we obtain a single letter error exponent for linear block codes.
