Reed-Muller (RM) codes are known for their good maximum likelihood (ML) performance in the short block-length regime. Despite being one of the oldest classes of channel codes, finding a low complexity soft-input decoding scheme is still an…
Reed-Muller (RM) codes exhibit good performance under maximum-likelihood (ML) decoding due to their highly-symmetric structure. In this paper, we explore the question of whether the code symmetry of RM codes can also be exploited to achieve…

We use a simple construction called `recursive subproducts' (that is known to yield good codes of lengths $n^m$, $n \geq 3$) to identify a family of codes sandwiched between first-order and second-order Reed-Muller (RM) codes. These codes…
Gleason's 1970 theorem on weight enumerators of self-dual codes has played a crucial role for research in coding theory during the last four decades. Plenty of generalizations have been proved but, to our knowledge, they are all based on…
We consider recursive decoding for Reed-Muller (RM) codes and their subcodes. Two new recursive techniques are described. We analyze asymptotic properties of these algorithms and show that they substantially outperform other decoding…
The number of low-weight codewords is critical to the performance of error-correcting codes. In 1970, Kasami and Tokura characterized the codewords of Reed-Muller (RM) codes whose weights are less than $2w_{\min}$, where $w_{\min}$…

We consider weighted Reed-Muller codes over point ensemble $S_1 \times...\times S_m$ where $S_i$ needs not be of the same size as $S_j$. For $m = 2$ we determine optimal weights and analyze in detail what is the impact of the ratio…

This paper studies the parameters for which Reed-Muller (RM) codes over $GF(2)$ can correct random erasures and random errors with high probability, and in particular when can they achieve capacity for these two classical channels.…
This work proves new results on the ability of binary Reed-Muller codes to decode from random errors and erasures. We obtain these results by proving improved bounds on the weight distribution of Reed-Muller codes of high degrees.…
Projective Reed-Muller codes correspond to subcodes of the Reed-Muller code in which the polynomials being evaluated to yield codewords, are restricted to be homogeneous. The Generalized Hamming Weights (GHW) of a code ${\cal C}$, identify…

In this paper, we consider the Reed-Muller (RM) codes. For the first order RM code, we prove that it is unique in the sense that any linear code with the same length, dimension and minimum distance must be the first order RM code; For the…
New soft- and hard decision decoding algorithms are presented for general Reed-Muller codes $\left\{\genfrac{}{}{0pt}{}{m}{r}\right\} $ of length $2^{m}$ and distance $2^{m-r}$. We use Plotkin $(u,u+v)$ construction and decompose code…
