galois.bch_valid_codes

galois.bch_valid_codes(n, t_min=1)

Returns a list of \((n, k, t)\) tuples of valid primitive binary BCH codes.

A BCH code with parameters \((n, k, t)\) is represented as a \([n, k, d]_2\) linear block code with \(d = 2t + 1\).

Parameters
  • n (int) – The codeword size \(n\), must be \(n = 2^m - 1\).

  • t_min (int, optional) – The minimum error-correcting capability. The default is 1.

Returns

A list of \((n, k, t)\) tuples of valid primitive BCH codes.

Return type
