摘要: We present an efficient algorithm for computing the minimal trellis a group code over finite Abelian group, given generator matrix code. also show how to compute succinct representation of such code, and algorithms that use this information efficiently local descriptions trellis. This extends work Kschischang Sorokine (1995), who handled case linear codes fields. An important application our is construction trellises lattices. A key step in handling cyclic groups C/sub p//spl alpha/, where p prime. Such can be viewed as submodule ring Z/sub alpha/. Because presence zero-divisors ring, submodules do not share useful properties vector spaces. get around difficulty by restricting notion combination p-linear combination, introducing p-generator sequence, which enjoys similar space.
