Subspace Codes Based on Graph Matchings, Ferrers Diagrams, and Pending Blocks

摘要

This paper provides new constructions and lower bounds for subspace codes, using Ferrers diagram rank-metric codes from matchings of the complete graph and pending blocks. We present different constructions for constant dimension codes with minimum injection distance 2 or , where is the constant dimension. Furthermore, we present a construction of new codes from old codes for any minimum distance. Then, we construct nonconstant dimension codes from these codes. Some examples of codes obtained by these constructions are the largest known codes for the given parameters.
