New constant-dimension subspace codes from parallel cosets of optimal Ferrers diagram rank-metric codes and multilevel inserting constructions
Constant-dimension subspace codes (CDCs), a special class of subspace codes, have attracted significant attention due to their applications in network coding. A fundamental research problem of CDCs is to determine the maximum number of codewords under the given parameters. The paper first proposes the construction of parallel cosets of optimal Ferrers diagram rank-metric codes (FDRMCs) by employing the list of CDCs and inverse list of CDCs. Then a new class of CDCs is obtained by combining the …
