Abstract

A basic problem for constant dimension codes is to determine the maximum possible size Aq(n,d;k) of a set of k-dimensional subspaces in GF(q)^n, called codewords, such that the subspace distance is at least d for all pairs of different codewords U, W. Constant dimension codes have applications in e.g. random linear network coding, cryptography, and distributed storage. Bounds for A_q(n,d;k) are the topic of many recent research papers. Providing a general framework we survey many of the latest constructions and show up the potential for further improvements. As examples we give improved constructions for the cases Aq(10,4;5), Aq(11,4;4), Aq(12,6;6), and Aq(15,4;4). We also derive general upper bounds for subcodes arising in those constructions.
