Abstract

In this correspondence, bounds are derived on the minimum homogeneous distance of the image of a linear block code over the Galois ring GR(pr,m), with respect to any basis of GR(pr,m). These bounds depend on the parameters of GR(pr;m), the minimum Hamming distance of the block code, and the average value of the homogeneous weight applied on the base ring Zpr. Examples are given of Galois ring codes that meet these bounds. © 2007 IEEE.
