A cross-bifix-free code of length $n$ over $\mathbb{Z}_q$ is defined as a non-empty subset of $\mathbb{Z}_q^n$ satisfying that the prefix set of each codeword is disjoint from the suffix set of every codeword. Cross-bifix-free codes have found important applications in digital communication systems. One of the main research problems on cross-bifix-free codes is to construct cross-bifix-free codes as large as possible in size. Recently, Wang and Wang introduced a family of cross-bifix-free codes $S_{I,J}^{(k)}(n)$, which is a generalization of the classical cross-bifix-free codes studied early by Lvenshtein, Gilbert and Chee {\it et al.}. It is known that $S_{I,J}^{(k)}(n)$ is nearly optimal in size and $S_{I,J}^{(k)}(n)$ is non-expandable if $k=n-1$ or $1\leq kComment: This paper has been submitted to IEEE T-IT for possible publication |
