GEOMETRIC CONSTRUCTION CODES OF HAMMING DISTANCE-8

Abstract

A new high rate binary linear block code construction technique, named as Geometric Construction (GC) codes, was proposed recently [1]. It generates all the even full information rate (optimal) Hamming distance – 4 codes. In this paper, we have enhanced the construction of GC codes with respect to code rate and derived a code family of hamming distance-8 GC codes.
