Abstract: Like classical block codes, a locally repairable code also obeys the Singleton-type bound (we call a locally repairable code {it optimal} if it achieves the Singleton-type bound). In the breakthrough work of cite{TB14}, several classes of optimal locally repairable codes were constructed via subcodes of Reed-Solomon codes. Thus, the lengths of the codes given in cite{TB14} are upper bounded by the code alphabet size q. Recently, it was proved through extension of construction in cite{TB14} that length of q-ary optimal locally repairable codes can be q+1 in cite{JMX17}. Surprisingly, cite{BHHMV16} presented a few examples of q-ary optimal locally repairable codes of small distance and locality with code length achieving roughly q2. Very recently, it was further shown in cite{LMX17} that there exist q-ary optimal locally repairable codes with length bigger than q+1 and distance propositional to n. Thus, it becomes an interesting and challenging problem to construct new families of q-ary optimal locally repairable codes of length bigger than q+1. In this paper, we construct a class of optimal locally repairable codes of distance 3 and 4 with unbounded length (i.e., length of the codes is independent of the code alphabet size). Our technique is through cyclic codes with particular generator and parity-check polynomials that are carefully chosen.
