In this paper, we analyze the effect of perturbation power in delaying the first error position, i.e., the first information bit incorrectly decoded by the successive cancellation (SC) decoding. It is conducted over the finite-length perturbation-enhanced SC (PE-SC) decoding paradigm. We show that the FEP delaying probability exhibits a non-monotonic dependence on the perturbation power \(σp2\). Based on this property, an efficient perturbation power selection algorithm that maximizes the delay probability is proposed to enhance the perturbation efficiency. It results in a more efficient perturbation power selection in finite-length PE-SC decoding.
