title = "Lattice Construction C∗ from Self-Dual Codes",
abstract = "Construction C∗ was recently introduced as a generalization of the multilevel Construction C (or Forney's code-formula), such that the coded levels may be dependent. Both constructions do not produce a lattice in general, hence the central idea of this paper is to present a 3-level lattice Construction C∗ scheme that admits an efficient nearest-neighborhood decoding. In order to achieve this objective, we choose coupled codes for levels 1 and 3, and set the second level code C 2 as an independent linear binary self-dual code, which is known to have a rich mathematical structure among families of linear codes. Our main result states a necessary and sufficient condition for this construction to generate a lattice. We then present examples of efficient lattices and also non-lattice constellations with good packing properties.",
