Asymptotic Concentration Behaviors of Linear Combinations of Weight   Distributions on Random Linear Code Ensemble
  Asymptotic concentration behaviors of linear combinations of weight distributions on the random linear code ensemble are presented. Many important properties of a binary linear code can be expressed as the form of a linear combination of weight distributions such as number of codewords, undetected error probability and upper bound on the maximum likelihood error probability. The key in this analysis is the covariance formula of weight distributions of the random linear code ensemble, which reveals the second-order statistics of a linear function of the weight distributions. Based on the covariance formula, several expressions of the asymptotic concentration rate, which indicate the speed of convergence to the average, are derived.
