    | Abstract | This work considers the asymptotic analysis of factored LT (FLT) codes which we proposed previously for distributed matrix multiplication. We show that all nodes in the Tanner graph of a randomly sampled code have a tree-like neighborhood with high probability. This ensures that the density evolution analysis gives a reasonable estimate of the average error performance of FLT codes. In addition, using Azuma–Hoeffding inequality, we derive concentration results to show that the error performance of a randomly chosen FLT code is close to the ensemble average. Our simulation results indicate that the error performance concentrates around the ensemble average for moderate values of blocklength. |
