A generalisation of quadratic residue codes to the case of cubic and biquadratic residues

In this paper, we consider a generalisation of quadratic residue codes to the cases of higher power residues. Such a generalisation enhances the information transmission rate with the use of such codes as compared with the quadratic-residue codes, at a sacrifice in the lower bound for the code distance, though. We consider the construction of generating polynomials for such codes, which allows to write explicitly their generating matrix.
