Reed-Muller Codes Revisited

Recently, we studied linear codes as ideals in the group algebra over an elementary abelian p-group. These codes can be described in terms of Groebner bases which in turn provide encoding and decoding procedures. In particular, we investigated generalizations of primitive Reed-Muller codes and constructed corresponding Groebner bases. We also showed that the class of codes studied contains an interesting family of linear codes. These codes have a designed Hamming distance and turn out to be superior to the primitive Reed-Muller codes in the non-binary case.
