Abstract

A code is called (n,k,r,t)(n, k, r, t) information symbol locally repairable code \big((n,k,r,t)i(n, k, r, t)_i LRC\big) if each information coordinate can be achieved by at least tt disjoint repair sets, containing at most rr other coordinates. This paper considers a class of (n,k,r,t)i(n, k, r, t)_i LRCs, where each repair set contains exactly one parity coordinate. We explore the systematic code in terms of the standard parity check matrix. First, some structural features of the parity check matrix are proposed by showing some connections with the membership matrix and the minimum distance optimality of the code. Next to that, parity check matrix based proofs of various bounds associated with the code are placed. In addition to this, we provide several constructions of optimal (n,k,r,t)i(n, k, r, t)_i LRCs, with the help of two Cayley tables of a finite field. Finally, we generalize a result of qq-ary (n,k,r)(n, k, r) LRCs to qq-ary (n,k,r,t)(n, k, r, t) LRCs.
