A Gilbert-Varshamov bound for quasi-cycle codes of rate 1/2 (Corresp.)

Abstract

It is shown that there exist arbitrarily long quasi-cyclic(2k,k)binary codes that meet a bound slightly weaker than the Gilbert-Varshamov bound. This is a refinement of the result of Chen, Peterson, and Weldon [1].

On Existence of Good Self-Dual Quasi-Cyclic Codes

Bikash Kumar Dey

For a long time, asymptotically good self-dual codes have been known to exist. Asymptotically good 2-quasicyclic codes of rate 1/2 have also been known to exist for a long time. Recently, it was proved that there are binary self-dual n/3-quasicyclic codes of length n asymptotically meeting the Gilbert-Varshamov bound. Unlike 2-quasicyclic codes, which are defined to have a cyclic group of order n/2 as a subgroup of their permutation group, the n/3-quasicyclic c codes are defined with a permutation group of fixed order of 3. So, from the decoding point of view, 2-quasicyclic c codes are preferable to n/3-quasicyclic c codes. In this correspondence, with the assumption that there are infinite primes p with respect to (w r t.) which 2 is primitive, we prove that there exist classes of self-dual 2p-quasicyclic c codes and Type II 8p-quasicyclic c codes of length respectively 2p/sup 2/ and 8p/sup 2/ which asymptotically meet the Gilbert-Varshamov bound. When compared with the order of the defining permutation groups, these classes of codes lie between the 2-quasicyclic c codes and the n/3-quasicyclic c codes of length n, considered in previous works.

If binary codes existed that exceed Gilbert-Varshamov bound they could not reach the cutoff rate of BSC

T. Beth, D.E. Lazic

Binary block codes exceeding the Gilbert-Varshamov bound on the minimum Hamming distance (if such codes exist) have their error exponents below the one of the binary symmetric channel (BSC) in the interval (R/sub crit/, R/sub c/) and they cannot reach the cutoff rate R/sub 0/ and thus the capacity R/sub c/ of the BSC if a maximum likelihood decoder (MLD) is used.

An Upper Bound on the Minimum Distance of LDPC Codes over GF(q)

Alexey Frolov

In [1] a syndrome counting based upper bound on the minimum distance of regular binary LDPC codes is given. In this paper we extend the bound to the case of irregular and generalized LDPC codes over GF(q). The comparison to the lower bound for LDPC codes over GF(q) and to the upper bound for non-binary codes is done. The new bound is shown to lie under the Gilbert-Varshamov bound at high rates.
