Description
An \((n-1,K,\frac{nd}{nw-w^2})\) spherical code obtained from a constant-weight-\(w\) binary \((n,K,d)\) code via a component-wise binary balanced mapping (also known as the CW\(_2\) construction), \begin{align} \begin{split} 0&\to\sqrt{\frac{w}{n\left(n-w\right)}}\\1&\to -\sqrt{\frac{n-w}{nw}}~. \end{split} \tag*{(1)}\end{align} This construction can be extended to the general balanced binary construction CW\(_q\) for spherical code alphabets of size \(q\) [1; Sec. 6.6].
Notes
See [1; Sec. 6.2] for more details.
Parents
- Spherical code
- Concatenated code — A binary balanced spherical code can be thought of as a concatenation of a constant-weight binary outer code with a shifted and scaled BPSK-like inner code.
Cousins
- Constant-weight code — Binary balanced spherical codes are obtained from constant-weight binary codes.
- Binary PSK (BPSK) code — A binary balanced spherical code can be thought of as a concatenation of a constant-weight binary outer code with a shifted and scaled BPSK-like inner code.
