Abstract

The symbol-pair read channel was first proposed by Cassuto and Blaum. Later, Yaakobi et al. generalized it to the bb-symbol read channel. It is motivated by the limitations of the reading process in high density data storage systems. One main task in bb-symbol coding theory is to determine the bb-symbol weight hierarchy of codes. In this paper, we study the bb-symbol weight hierarchy of the Kasami codes, which are well known for their applications to construct sequences with optimal correlation magnitudes. The complete symbol-pair weight distribution of the Kasami codes is determined.
