On the asymptotic properties of a class of linearly expanded maximum distance separable codes
S. Ray-Chaudhuri · 2002
We study the asymptotic properties of linearly expanded (LE) maximum distance separable (MDS) codes based on the average weight distribution. We show that there is a class of LE MDS codes in which most members are asymptotically good. A time-varying code is also discussed, based on the asymptotic goodness of LE MDS codes, and the cumulative average weight distribution is derived for Reed-Solomon codes.
