We present lower and upper bounds on the covering radius of Reed-Muller codes, yielding asymptotical improvements on known results. The lower bound is simply the sphere covering one (not very new). The upper bound is derived from a thorough use of a lemma, the 'essence of Reed-Mullerity'. The idea

This paper proposes a new soft-decision decoding procedure for the ReedSolomon code. As the first step, the reliability function for the decoded estimation symbol is defined. To determine the estimated symbol and the reliability efficiently, an open trellis diagram is proposed from which the candida
Assmus Jr, E.F., On the Reed-Muller codes, Discrete Mathematics 106/107 (1992) 25-33. We give a brief but complete account of all the essential facts concerning the Reed-Muller and punctured Reed-Muller codes. The treatment is new and includes an easy, direct proof of the fact that the punctured R
A deep result about the Reed Muller codes, proved by Mykkeltveit in 1980, is that the covering radius of the Reed Muller code R(1, 7) equals 56. We discover an alternative and simpler proof for this important result.
