Experimental constructions of self-dual codes

From MaRDI portal





The authors propose a new experimental method to construct quickly and easily ``good self-dual codes of any length over any alphabet. The term ``good is appointed to the minimum distance of the code which is exactly or approximately very close to the highest known minimum distance for the self-dual code of a particular length. The method given generalizes the binary code construction proposed to any alphabet and mainly relies on computation. An extended list of self-dual codes constructed by this method is given, which seems to indicate that the codes are ``good indeed. These codes are constructed to phase the burst error correction. The notion and the analysis of these codes are also given in the paper. The given general experimental method is a generalization of the codes of \textit{J. Carlach} and \textit{C. Vervoux} [A new family of block-turbo codes, Proc. AAECC13, Hawaii, 15-16 (1999)]. Some special cases of these codes are also considered.
