Abstract

Subspace codes are collections of subspaces of a projective space such that any two subspaces satisfy a pairwise minimum distance criterion. Recent results have shown that it is possible to construct optimal (5,3)(5,3) subspace codes from pairs of partial spreads in the projective space PG(4,q)\mathrm{PG}(4,q) over the finite field Fq \mathbb{F}_q , termed doubling codes. We have utilized a complete classification of maximal partial line spreads in PG(4,2)\mathrm{PG}(4,2) in literature to establish the types of the spreads in the doubling code instances obtained from two recent constructions of optimum (5,3)q(5,3)_q codes, restricted to F2 \mathbb{F}_2 . Further we present a new characterization of a subclass of binary doubling codes based on the intersection patterns of key subspaces in the pair of constituent spreads.
