Title: The Voronoi Region of the Barnes-Wall Lattice Λ16
Authors: Pook-Kolb, Daniel, Agrell, Erik, 1965, Allen, Bruce
Source: IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Information Theory. 4:16-23
Subject Terms: normalized second moment, Voronoi region, lattice quantizer, Barnes–Wall lattice, quantizer constant
Description: We give a detailed description of the Voronoi region of the Barnes–Wall lattice $\Lambda _{16}$ , including its vertices, relevant vectors, and symmetry group. The exact value of its quantizer constant is calculated, which was previously only known approximately. To verify the result, we estimate the same constant numerically and propose a new very simple method to quantify the variance of such estimates, which is far more accurate than the commonly used jackknife estimator.
