Quantum maximal-distance-separable (MDS) codes form an important class of quantum codes. To get $q$-ary quantum MDS codes, it suffices to find linear MDS codes $C$ over $\mathbb{F}_{q^2}$ satisfying $C^{\perp_H}\subseteq C$ by the Hermitian…

We consider a simple multiple access network (SMAN), where $k$ sources of unit rates transmit their data to a common sink via $n$ relays. Each relay is connected to the sink and to certain sources. A coding scheme (for the relays) is weakly…

We study $q$-ary codes with distance defined by a partial order of the coordinates of the codewords. Maximum Distance Separable (MDS) codes in the poset metric have been studied in a number of earlier works. We consider codes that are close…

A linear code with parameters $[n,k,n-k]$ is said to be almost maximum distance separable (AMDS for short). An AMDS code whose dual is also AMDS is referred to as an near maximum distance separable (NMDS for short) code. NMDS codes have…

Given any linear code $C$ over a finite field $GF(q)$ we show how $C$ can be described in a transparent and geometrical way by using the associated Bruen-Silverman code. Then, specializing to the case of MDS codes we use our new approach to…

A linear code with parameters of the form $[n, k, n-k+1]$ is referred to as an MDS (maximum distance separable) code. A linear code with parameters of the form $[n, k, n-k]$ is said to be almost MDS (i.e., almost maximum distance separable)…
