Quasi-cyclic code[1] 

Description

A block code of length \(n\) is quasi-cyclic if, for each codeword \(c_1 \cdots c_{\ell} c_{\ell+1} \cdots c_n\), the string \(c_{n-\ell+1} \cdots c_n c_1 \cdots c_{n-\ell}\) where each entry is cyclically shifted by \(\ell\) increments is also a codeword.

The generator of an \([mn_0,mk_0]\) quasi-cyclic linear code is representable as a block matrix of \(m \times m\) circulant matrices [2].

Notes

A database of quasi-cyclic codes with searchable parameters such as block length and dimension is constructed and displayed here.
