Quasi-cyclic (QC) low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes which are known as QC-LDPC codes, have many applications due to their simple encoding implementation by means of cyclic shift registers. In this paper, we construct QC-LDPC codes from…

A classical method of constructing a linear code over $\gf(q)$ with a $t$-design is to use the incidence matrix of the $t$-design as a generator matrix over $\gf(q)$ of the code. This approach has been extensively investigated in the…

A primitive $k$-batch code encodes a string $x$ of length $n$ into string $y$ of length $N$, such that each multiset of $k$ symbols from $x$ has $k$ mutually disjoint recovering sets from $y$. We develop new explicit and random coding…
