Generalized bilateral multilevel construction for constant dimension codes from parallel mixed dimension construction

Abstract: Constant dimension codes (CDCs), as special subspace codes, have received extensive attention due to their applications in random network coding. The basic problem of CDCs is to determine the maximal possible size $A_q(n,d,{k})$ for given parameters $q, n, d$, and $k$. This paper introduces criteria for choosing appropriate bilateral identifying vectors compatible with the parallel mixed dimension construction (Des. Codes Cryptogr. 93(1):227--241, 2025). We then utilize the generalized bilateral multilevel construction (Des. Codes Cryptogr. 93(1):197--225, 2025) to improve the parallel mixed dimension construction efficiently. Many new CDCs that are better than the previously best-known codes are constructed.
