Description
Spherical code whose codewords are scaled versions of points on a lattice. A \(m\)-shell code consists of normalized lattice vectors \(x\) with squared norm \(\|x\|^2 = m\). Each code is constructed by normalizing a set of lattice vectors in one or more shells, i.e., sets of lattice points lying on a hypersphere.Notes
See [3; Ch. 10] for tables of lattice-shell codes.Cousins
- Lattice-based code— Lattice-shell codes consists of lattice points that have been normalized.
- Cyclic code— Lattice-shell codewords are often permutations of a particular set of reference vectors, meaning that a cyclic permutation of a codeword yields another codeword.
- Spherical design— Nonempty \(2m\)-shell codes of extremal even unimodular lattices in \(n\) dimensions form spherical \(t\)-designs with \(t=11\) (\(t=7\), \(t=3\)) if \(n \equiv 0\) (\(n \equiv 8\), \(n\equiv 16\)) modulo 24 [4,5]. Shells of \(A_n\) and \(D_n\) lattices form infinite families of spherical 3-designs [6; Exam. 2.9].

Cubeoctahedron codewords form the minimal shell of the \(D_3\) face-centered cubic (fcc) lattice.
Biorthogonal codewords form the minimal shell of the \(\mathbb{Z}^n\) hypercubic lattice.
Hypercube codewords form the minimal lattice shell code of the \(\mathbb{Z}^n\) hypercubic lattice when the lattice is shifted such that the center of a hypercube is at the origin.
