In this paper we study spread codes: a family of constant-dimension codes for random linear network coding. In other words, the codewords are full-rank matrices of size $k\times n$ with entries in a finite field $\mathbb F_q$. Spread codes are a family of optimal codes with maximal minimum distance. We give a minimum-distance decoding algorithm which requires $\mathcal{O}((n-k)k^3)$ operations over an extension field $\mathbb F_{q^k}$. Our algorithm is more efficient than the previous…
Optimum Distance Flag Codes from Spreads in Network Coding

It is shown that optimum distance flag codes attaining the best possible size, given an admissible type vector, must have a spread as the subspace code used at the corresponding shot.

Constructions, decoding and automorphisms of subspace codes
Subspace codes are a family of codes used for (among others) random network coding, which is a model for multicast communication. These codes are deﬁned as sets of vector spaces over a ﬁnite ﬁeld.
Geometric decoding of subspace codes with explicit Schubert calculus applied to spread codes
