RT Conference Proceedings T1 The Error Probability of Generalized Perfect Codes A1 Vazquez Vilar, Gonzalo A1 Guillén I Fàbregas, Albert A1 Verdú, Sergio AB We introduce a definition of perfect and quasi-perfect codes for symmetric channels parametrized by an auxiliary output distribution. This new definition generalizes previous definitions and encompasses maximum distance separable codes. The error probability of these codes, whenever they exist, is shown to attain the meta-converse lower bound.
