Matroidal error correction networks and linear network error correction MDS codes
Hang Zhou, Guangjun Liu · Wuhan University Journal of Natural Sciences · 2013
In this paper, we further study the connections between linear network error correction codes and representable matroids. We extend the concept of matroidal network introduced by Dougherty et al. to a generalized case when errors occur in multiple channels. Importantly, we show the necessary and sufficient conditions on the existence of linear network error correction multicast/ broadcast/dispersion maximum distance separable (MDS) code on a matroidal error correction network.
