The weight spectrum of sequences of binary linear codes that achieve arbitrarily small word error probability on a class of noisy channels at a nonzero rate is studied. We refer to such sequences as good codes. The class of good codes includes turbo, low-density parity-check, and repeat-accumulate codes. We show that a sequence of codes is good when transmitted over a memoryless binary-symmetric channel...
