The duals of mmd codes are proper for error detection
Rossitza Dodunekova · IEEE Transactions on Information Theory · 2003
A linear code, when used for error detection on a symmetric channel, is said to be proper if the corresponding undetected error probability increases monotonically in /spl epsiv/, the symbol error probability of the channel. Such codes are generally considered to perform well in error detection. A number of well-known classes of linear codes are proper, e.g., the perfect codes, MDS codes, MacDonald's codes, MMD codes, and some Near-MDS codes. The aim of this work is to show that also the duals of MMD codes are proper.
