Identifying High-Dimension Subspace Subcodes Of Reed-Solomon Codes, Sarah Adams Jul 2012

Identifying High-Dimension Subspace Subcodes Of Reed-Solomon Codes, Sarah Adams

Sarah Spence Adams

Subspace subcodes of Reed-Solomon (SSRS) codes were introduced by Hattori, McEliece, Solomo, and Lin in the mid-1990s. These authors found a complicated dimension formula and a simple, tight lower bound on thedimension of SSRS codes over F2m. We prove a conjecture of Hattori concerning how to identify subspaces that can be used to build SSRS codes whose dimension exceeds this lower bound.

The Minimum Decoding Delay Of Maximum Rate Complex Orthogonal Space–Time Block Codes, Sarah Adams, Nathaniel Karst, Jonathan Pollack

Sarah Spence Adams

The growing demand for efficient wireless transmissions over fading channels motivated the development ofspace-time block codes. Space-time block codes built from generalized complex orthogonal designs are particularly attractive because the orthogonality permits a simple decoupled maximum-likelihood decodingalgorithm while achieving full transmit diversity. The two main research problems for these complex orthogonalspace-time block codes (COSTBCs) have been to determine for any number of antennas the maximum rate andthe minimum decoding delay for a maximum rate code. The maximum rate for COSTBCs was determined by Liang in 2003. This paper addresses the second fundamental problem by providing a tight lower bound on …
