Low complexity error correction code is a key enabler for next generation ultra-reliable low-latency communications (xURLLC) in six generation (6G). Against this background, this paper proposes a decoding scheme for linear block code by…
For a linear code $C$ of length $n$ with dimension $k$ and minimum distance $d$, it is desirable that the quantity $kd/n$ is large. Given an arbitrary field $\mathbb{F}$, we introduce a novel, but elementary, construction that produces a…

In this paper we show how to construct new convolutional codes from old ones by applying the well-known techniques: puncturing, extending, expanding, direct sum, the (u|u + v) construction and the product code construction. By applying…

The structure of a linear block code is pivotal in defining fundamental properties, particularly weight distribution, and code design. In this study, we characterize the Type II structure of polar codewords with weights less than twice the…
In this paper we investigate the class of constacyclic codes, which is a natural generalization of the class of cyclic and negacyclic codes. This class of codes is interesting in the sense that it contains codes with good or even optimal…
Constant dimension codes are used for error control in random linear network coding, so that constructions for these codes with large cardinality have achieved wide attention in the last decade. Here, we improve the so-called linkage…
In this paper, we construct four families of linear codes over finite fields from the complements of either the union of subfields or the union of cosets of a subfield, which can produce infinite families of optimal linear codes, including…
The problem of finding good linear codes for joint source-channel coding (JSCC) is investigated in this paper. By the code-spectrum approach, it has been proved in the authors' previous paper that a good linear code for the authors' JSCC…
A new ensemble of structured codes is introduced. These codes are called Quasi Linear Codes (QLC). The QLC's are constructed by taking subsets of linear codes. They have a looser structure compared to linear codes and are not closed under…
In this paper, we give a geometric characterization of minimal linear codes. In particular, we relate minimal linear codes to cutting blocking sets, introduced in a recent paper by Bonini and Borello. Using this characterization, we derive…
Existence of quantum low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes whose minimal distance scales linearly with the number of qubits is a major open problem in quantum information. Its practical interest stems from the need to protect information in…
