A note on full weight spectrum codes
share
A linear [n,k]_q code C is said to be a full weight spectrum (FWS) code if there exist codewords of each nonzero weight less than or equal to n . In this brief communication we determine necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of linear [n,k]_q full weight spectrum (FWS) codes. Central to our approach is the geometric view of linear codes, whereby columns of a generator matrix correspond to points in PG(k-1,q) .
