Abstract

This letter investigates the so-called product lattice (PL) construction. A PL is obtained from two low-dimensional lattices by means of the Kronecker product. Fundamental properties, mainly those determining the performance of a lattice as an error-correcting scheme over a bandwidth-limited channel, are derived for PLs. Due to their special structure and properties, PLs can provide an attractive family of lattice codes of good performance/complexity tradeoffs.
