Constructions of Codes with Weighted Poset Block Metrics

Weighted poset block metric is a generalization of two types of metrics: one is weighted poset metric introduced by Panek and Pinheiro (2010) and the other is metric for linear error-block codes introduced by Feng and Hickernell (2006). This type of metrics includes many classical metrics such as Hamming metric, Lee metric, poset metric, pomset metric, poset block metric, pomset block metric and so on. In this work, we focus on constructing new codes under weighted poset block metric from given ones. Some basic properties such as minimum distance and covering radius are studied.
