Abstract
In this letter, we show how to compute the asymptotic growth rate of input-output weight enumerator (AGR-IOWE) for some accumulate-based codes by using the sharp tools already developed. Numerical results on the AGR-IOWE for irregular repeat-accumulate (IRA) codes, systematic regular RA (SRA) codes, and concatenated zigzag codes are reported. It is observed that the SRA code has the same AGR-IOWE as a comparable concatenated zigzag code. For both SRA and concatenated zigzag codes, if keeping the code rate fixed, the increase of the grouping factor for the component punctured accumulate code may result in better asymptotic performance under maximum-likelihood decoding, but often worse performance under iterative sum-product decoding.
