Three Improved Lower Bounds for Binary Error-Correcting Codes

arXiv:2610.11609v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Error-correcting codes are a foundational technology for representing information robustly against noise in communication and data storage. The binary code packing problem, which seeks to maximize the number of codewords at a fixed code length and minimum distance, is a fundamental problem in coding theory that remains open for many parameter choices. We give explicit binary codes with parameters $(n,M,d)=(22,84,9)$, $(24,196,9)$, and $(25,65,11)$, where $n$, $M$, and $d$ denote the code length, number of codewords, and minimum distance, respectively. These establish the lower bounds $A_2(22,9)\ge84$, $A_2(24,9)\ge196$, and $A_2(25,11)\ge65$, where $A_2(n,d)$ denotes the maximum possible number of codewords, improving the respective lower bounds 80, 192, and 64 in the public table of general binary codes. Most notably, the third result improves the lower bound supplied by a lexicographic construction for the first time in 66 years, while the first two improve bounds that have stood for 21 years. The new codes represent more messages without changing the code length or error-correction guarantees, with gains compounding multiplicatively across blocks. We release all codewords and an exhaustive verifier to enable independent verification.
