Abstract

Lattices in ℝn with sublattices which have an orthogonal basis are associated with spherical codes in ℝ2n generated by a finite commutative group of orthogonal matrices. They also can be used to construct homogeneous spherical curves for transmitting a continuous alphabet source over an AWGN channel. In both cases, the performance of the decoding process is related to the packing density of the lattices (see (2.13 )). In the continuous case, the packing density of these curves relies on the search for projection lattices with good packing density. We present here a survey on this topic mainly based on [18, 31, 96, 105].
