On the Covering Radius of Some Modular Codes

2012

Abstract

This paper gives lower and upper bounds on the covering radius of codes over Z 2 s with respect to homogenous distance. We also determine the covering radius of various Repetition codes, Simplex codes (Type α and Type β) and their dual and give bounds on the covering radii for MacDonald codes of both types over Z 4 .
