Full diversity product codes for block erasure and block fading channels. In: 2008 IEEE Information Theory Workshop (ITW '08); 2008 May 5-9; Porto, Portugal. [S.l.]: IEEE; c2008. p.313-317.

The concept of a rootcheck or a root subcode is introduced by generalizing the same principle recently invented for low-density parity-check codes. We also describe some channel related graphical properties of the new family of product codes, a family/nreferred to as root product codes.application/pdfeng© 2008 IEEE.
