Abstract

As a common generalization of constant weight binary codes and permutation codes, constant composition codes (CCCs) have attracted recent interest due to their numerous applications. In this paper, a class of new CCCs are constructed using design-theoretic techniques. The obtained codes are optimal in the sense of their sizes. This result is established, for the most part, by means of a result on generalized doubly resolvable packings which is of combinatorial interest in its own right.
