Optimal Linear and Cyclic Locally Repairable Codes over Small Fields
We consider locally repairable codes over small fields and propose
constructions of optimal cyclic and linear codes in terms of the dimension for
a given distance and length. Four new constructions of optimal linear codes
over small fields with locality properties are developed. The first two
approaches give binary cyclic codes with locality two. While the first
construction has availability one, the second binary code is characterized by
multiple available repair sets based on a binary Simplex code. The third
approach extends the first one to q-ary cyclic codes including (binary)
extension fields, where the locality property is determined by the properties
of a shortened first-order Reed-Muller code. Non-cyclic optimal binary linear
codes with locality greater than two are obtained by the fourth construction.Comment: IEEE Information Theory Workshop (ITW) 2015, Apr 2015, Jerusalem,

Optimal Binary Locally Repairable Codes via Anticodes
This paper presents a construction for several families of optimal binary
locally repairable codes (LRCs) with small locality (2 and 3). This
construction is based on various anticodes. It provides binary LRCs which
attain the Cadambe-Mazumdar bound. Moreover, most of these codes are optimal
with respect to the Griesmer bound
Local Codes with Addition Based Repair
We consider the complexities of repair algorithms for locally repairable
codes and propose a class of codes that repair single node failures using
addition operations only, or codes with addition based repair. We construct two
families of codes with addition based repair. The first family attains distance
one less than the Singleton-like upper bound, while the second family attains
the Singleton-like upper bound
Cyclic LRC Codes and their Subfield Subcodes
We consider linear cyclic codes with the locality property, or locally
recoverable codes (LRC codes). A family of LRC codes that generalizes the
classical construction of Reed-Solomon codes was constructed in a recent paper
by I. Tamo and A. Barg (IEEE Transactions on Information Theory, no. 8, 2014;
arXiv:1311.3284). In this paper we focus on the optimal cyclic codes that arise
from the general construction. We give a characterization of these codes in
terms of their zeros, and observe that there are many equivalent ways of
constructing optimal cyclic LRC codes over a given field. We also study
subfield subcodes of cyclic LRC codes (BCH-like LRC codes) and establish
several results about their locality and minimum distance.Comment: Submitted for publicatio
Codes With Hierarchical Locality
In this paper, we study the notion of {\em codes with hierarchical locality}
that is identified as another approach to local recovery from multiple
erasures. The well-known class of {\em codes with locality} is said to possess
hierarchical locality with a single level. In a {\em code with two-level
hierarchical locality}, every symbol is protected by an inner-most local code,
and another middle-level code of larger dimension containing the local code. We
first consider codes with two levels of hierarchical locality, derive an upper
bound on the minimum distance, and provide optimal code constructions of low
field-size under certain parameter sets. Subsequently, we generalize both the
bound and the constructions to hierarchical locality of arbitrary levels.Comment: 12 pages, submitted to ISIT 201
Cyclic LRC Codes, binary LRC codes, and upper bounds on the distance of cyclic codes
We consider linear cyclic codes with the locality property, or locally
recoverable codes (LRC codes). A family of LRC codes that generalize the
classical construction of Reed-Solomon codes was constructed in a recent paper
by I. Tamo and A. Barg (IEEE Trans. Inform. Theory, no. 8, 2014). In this paper
we focus on optimal cyclic codes that arise from this construction. We give a
characterization of these codes in terms of their zeros, and observe that there
are many equivalent ways of constructing optimal cyclic LRC codes over a given
field. We also study subfield subcodes of cyclic LRC codes (BCH-like LRC codes)
and establish several results about their locality and minimum distance. The
locality parameter of a cyclic code is related to the dual distance of this
code, and we phrase our results in terms of upper bounds on the dual distance.Comment: 12pp., submitted for publication. An extended abstract of this
