Abstract

It has long been known that linear codes achieve the capacity of additive channels over finite fields. Much less has been known about the performance of linear codes over ℤ M, when used for communication over channels that are additive with respect to this group. Further, linear codes over ℤ M play an important role in construction of lattices in Euclidean space. When a construction-A lattice is used for communication over an additive white Gaussian noise channel, a modulo-Mℤ additive channel with unimodal noise is induced at the receiver. In this paper it is shown that linear codes over ℤ M achieve the capacity of such channels when the cardinality of the alphabet is a power of a prime.
