Block Erasure Channel and Block z-Channel with Bounded Decoders and Finite Blocklength
Block error rate is a standard metric in finite blocklength (FBL) communication, yet it conflates two qualitatively different failure modes: block confusions, where the decoder selects a wrong codeword, and block erasures, where it declares a loss. Higher-layer protocols treat physical-layer failures as erasures, but t...
