Optimal Locally Repairable Codes Via Elliptic Curves

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: Constructing locally repairable codes achieving Singleton-type bound (we call them optimal codes in this paper) is a challenging task and has attracted great attention in the last few years. Tamo and Barg cite{TB14} first gave a breakthrough result in this topic by cleverly considering subcodes of Reed-Solomon codes. Thus, q-ary optimal locally repairable codes from subcodes of Reed-Solomon codes given in cite{TB14} have length upper bounded by q. Recently, it was shown through extension of construction in cite{TB14} that length of q-ary optimal locally repairable codes can be q+1 in cite{JMX17}. Surprisingly it was shown in cite{BHHMV16} that, unlike classical MDS codes, q-ary optimal locally repairable codes could have length bigger than q+1. Thus, it becomes an interesting and challenging problem to construct q-ary optimal locally repairable codes of length bigger than q+1. In the present paper, we make use of rich algebraic structures of elliptic curves to construct a family of q-ary optimal locally repairable codes of length up to q+2sqrtq. It turns out that locality of our codes can be as big as 23 and distance can be linear in length.
