Error-Correction Capability of Binary Linear Codes
Tor Helleseth, Torleiv Kløve, V.I. Levenshtein
The monotone structure of correctable and uncorrectable errors given by the complete decoding for a binary linear code is investigated. New bounds on the error-correction capability of linear codes beyond half the minimum distance are presented, both for the best codes and for arbitrary codes under some restrictions on their parameters. It is proved that some known codes of low rate are as good as the best codes in an asymptotic sense.
