Barnes-Wall (BW) lattice code[1,2] 

Description

Member of a family of \(2^{m+1}\)-dimensional lattices, denoted as BW\(_{2^{m+1}}\), that are the densest lattices known. Members include the integer square lattice \(\mathbb{Z}^2\), \(D_4\), the Gosset \(E_8\) lattice, and the \(\Lambda_{16}\) lattice, corresponding to \(m\in\{0,1,2,3\}\), respectively.

Protection

BW lattices in dimension \(2^{m+1}\) have a nominal coding gain of \(2^{m/2}\). Their kissing number is \(K_{\text{min}} = \prod_{i=1}^{m+1} (2^i + 2)\).
