Some subfield codes from MDS codes
Can Xiang, Jinquan Luo · Advances in Mathematics of Communications · 2021
Subfield codes of linear codes over finite fields have recently received a lot of attention, as some of these codes are optimal and have applications in secrete sharing, authentication codes and association schemes. In this paper, a class of binary subfield codes is constructed from a special family of MDS codes, and their parameters are explicitly determined. The parameters of their dual codes are also studied. Some of the codes presented in this paper are optimal or almost optimal.
