New MDS symbol-pair codes of length 4p from repeated-root cyclic codes
摘要
Symbol-pair codes is a new coding framework that is aimed at preventing pair errors in symbol-pair read channels. A major task of symbol-pair coding theory involves the design of codes, which have a large minimum symbol-pair distance. Particularly, the construction of maximum-distance-separable (MDS) symbol-pair codes, the symbol-pair code with the optimal error-correction capability, has become an open problem. In this paper, four classes of MDS symbol-pair codes of length 4p whose minimum symbol-pair distances are 8, 10, 11 and 12 are obtained by using repeated-root cyclic codes over
