Complete b-symbol weight distribution of some irreducible cyclic codes
Recently, b-symbol codes are proposed to protect against b-symbol errors in b-symbol read channels. It is an interesting subject of study to consider the complete b-symbol weight distribution of cyclic codes since b-symbol metric is a generalization for Hamming metric. The complete b-symbol Hamming weight distribution of irreducible codes is known in only a few cases. In this paper, we give a complete b-symbol Hamming weight distribution of a class of irreducible codes with two nonzero b-symbol Hamming weights.
