This paper derives an improved sphere-packing (ISP) bound for finite-length codes whose transmission takes place over symmetric memoryless channels. We first review classical results, i.e., the 1959 sphere-packing (SP59) bound of Shannon…

We obtain new restrictions on the linear programming bound for sphere packing, by optimizing over spaces of modular forms to produce feasible points in the dual linear program. In contrast to the situation in dimensions 8 and 24, where the…
