Abstract
Constant dimension codes (CDCs) have drawn extensive attention due to their applications in random network coding. This paper introduces a new class of codes, namely generalized bilateral Ferrers diagram rank-metric codes, to generalize the bilateral multilevel construction in Etzion and Vardy (Adv Math Commun 16:1165–1183, 2022). Combining our generalized bilateral multilevel construction and the double multilevel construction in Liu and Ji (IEEE Trans Inf Theory 69:157–168, 2023), we present an effective technique to construct CDCs. By means of bilateral identifying vectors, this approach helps us to select fewer identifying and inverse identifying vectors to construct CDCs with larger size. The new constructed CDCs have the largest size regarding known codes for many sets of parameters. Our method gives rise to at least 138 new lower bounds for CDCs.
期刊介绍:
Designs, Codes and Cryptography is an archival peer-reviewed technical journal publishing original research papers in the designated areas. There is a great deal of activity in design theory, coding theory and cryptography, including a substantial amount of research which brings together more than one of the subjects. While many journals exist for each of the individual areas, few encourage the interaction of the disciplines.
The journal was founded to meet the needs of mathematicians, engineers and computer scientists working in these areas, whose interests extend beyond the bounds of any one of the individual disciplines. The journal provides a forum for high quality research in its three areas, with papers touching more than one of the areas especially welcome.
The journal also considers high quality submissions in the closely related areas of finite fields and finite geometries, which provide important tools for both the construction and the actual application of designs, codes and cryptographic systems. In particular, it includes (mostly theoretical) papers on computational aspects of finite fields. It also considers topics in sequence design, which frequently admit equivalent formulations in the journal’s main areas.
Designs, Codes and Cryptography is mathematically oriented, emphasizing the algebraic and geometric aspects of the areas it covers. The journal considers high quality papers of both a theoretical and a practical nature, provided they contain a substantial amount of mathematics.
