Abstract
Conference Title: 2014 IEEE International Symposium on Information Theory (ISIT) Conference Start Date: 2014, June 29 Conference End Date: 2014, July 4 Conference Location: Honolulu, HI, USA Binary matrix codes with restricted row and column weights are a desirable method of coded modulation for power line communication. In this work, we construct such matrix codes that are obtained as products of affine codes - cosets of binary linear codes. Additionally, the constructions have the property that they are systematic. Subsequently, we generalize our construction to irregular product of affine codes, where the component codes are affine codes of different rates. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]
