Group Codes Outperform Binary-Coset Codes on Nonbinary Symmetric Memoryless Channels

Typical minimum distances and error exponents are analyzed on the 8-PSK Gaussian channel for two capacity-achieving code ensembles with different algebraic structure. It is proved that the typical group code over the cyclic group of order eight achieves both the Gilbert-Varshamov bound and the expur...
