On quasi-cyclic codes
P. Heijnen, Henk van Tilborg, S. Weijs
Abstract
Many binary quasi-cyclic codes have a better minimum distance than other known linear codes with the same parameters. We present 43 new quasi-cyclic codes, which improve on the parameters of previously found quasi-cyclic codes. Five of them even improve the lower bound on the minimum distance for linear codes. Furthermore we present a decoding algorithm for the binary quasi-cyclic codes of rate 1/m.
