Abstract

Multilevel lattice codes, such as those associated to Constructions CC, D\overline{D}, D and D', have relevant applications in communications. In this paper, we investigate some properties of lattices obtained via Constructions D and D' from qq-ary linear codes. Connections with Construction A, generator matrices, expressions and bounds for the lattice volume and minimum distances are derived. Extensions of previous results regarding construction and decoding of binary and pp-ary linear codes (pp prime) are also presented.
