Cyclic Codes with Locality and Availability

Information Theory 2019-04-05 v3 math.IT

Abstract

In this work codes with availability are constructed based on the cyclic \emph{locally repairable code} (LRC) construction by Tamo et al. and their extension to (r,ρ)(r,\rho)-locality by Chen et al. The minimum distance of these codes is increased by carefully extending their defining set. We give a bound on the dimension of LRCs with availability and orthogonal repair sets and show that the given construction is optimal for a range of parameters.
