TLDR
It is shown that any signal set in N-dimensional Euclidean space that is matched to an abstract group is essentially what D. Slepian (1968) called a group code for the Gaussian channel and that any such signal set is equivalent to coded phase modulation with linear codes over Z/sub M/.
Abstract
Recently, linear codes over Z/sub M/ (the ring of integers mod M) have been presented that are matched to M-ary phase modulation. The general problem of matching signal sets to generalized linear algebraic codes is addressed based on these codes. A definition is given for the notion of matching. It is shown that any signal set in N-dimensional Euclidean space that is matched to an abstract group is essentially what D. Slepian (1968) called a group code for the Gaussian channel. If the group is commutative, this further implies that any such signal set is equivalent to coded phase modulation with linear codes over Z/sub M/. Some further results on such signal sets are presented, and the signal sets matched to noncommutative groups and the linear codes over such groups are discussed. >

Geometrically uniform codes

TL;DR: Most known good classes of signal space codes are shown to be generalized coset codes, and therefore geometrically uniform, including lattice-type trellis codes based on lattice partitions Lambda / Lambda ' such that Z/sup N// Lambda/ Lambda '/4Z/Sup N/ is a lattice partition chain.

The dynamics of group codes: state spaces, trellis diagrams, and canonical encoders

TL;DR: If C is complete and strongly controllable, then a minimal encoder in controller canonical (feedbackfree) form may be constructed from certain sets of shortest possible code sequences, called granules.

Convolutional codes over groups

TL;DR: The first part, which covers fundamental notions such as minimality and observability, is semi-tutorial in that most definitions are already standard (within the modern behavioral theory), as are some of the formally stated results.

Coset codes. II. Binary lattices and related codes

TL;DR: The family of Barnes-Wall lattices and their principal sublattices, which are useful in constructing coset codes, are generated by iteration of a simple construction called the squaring construction, and are represented by trellis diagrams that display their structure and interrelationships and that lead to efficient maximum-likelihood decoding algorithms.

Permutation modulation

TL;DR: A class of codes and decoders is described for transmitting digital information by means of bandlimited signals in the presence of additive white Gaussiau noise, called permutation modulation, which has many desirable features.

Group codes for the Gaussian channel

TL;DR: A decomposition theorem shows every group code to be equivalent to a direct sum of certain basic group codes generated by real-irreducible representations of a finite group associated with the code.
