Abstract :
In this paper we consider the finite-length performance of Repeat-Accumulate codes in the waterfall region assuming the transmission on the binary erasure channel. We extend the finite-length scaling law of LDPC codes [1] to this ensemble and we derive the scaling parameter. The obtained performance estimations match very well with numerical results.
