List Decoding of Matrix-Product Codes from nested codes: an application to Quasi-Cyclic codes

A list decoding algorithm for matrix-product codes is provided when $C_1,..., C_s$ are nested linear codes and $A$ is a non-singular by columns matrix. We estimate the probability of getting more than one codeword as output when the constituent codes are Reed-Solomon codes. We extend this list decoding algorithm for matrix-product codes with polynomial units, which are quasi-cyclic codes. Furthermore, it allows us to consider unique decoding for matrix-product codes with polynomial units

Lattices from Codes for Harnessing Interference: An Overview and Generalizations

In this paper, using compute-and-forward as an example, we provide an overview of constructions of lattices from codes that possess the right algebraic structures for harnessing interference. This includes Construction A, Construction D, and Construction $\pi_A$ (previously called product construction) recently proposed by the authors. We then discuss two generalizations where the first one is a general construction of lattices named Construction $\pi_D$ subsuming the above three constructions as special cases and the second one is to go beyond principal ideal domains and build lattices over algebraic integers
