    | 1) | Any
    code can be used for scheduling 
 |  | 
   
    |  | 
   
    | - for large, sparse networks, Hermitian
    codes give 
 |  | 
   
    |  | 
   
    | better minimum performance guarantees
    than RS 
 |  | 
   
    |  | 
   
    | codes 
 |  | 
   
    |  | 
   
    | 2) Chlamtac
    and Farago’s construction results in a 
 |  | 
   
    |  | 
   
    | singly extended Reed-Solomon code 
 |  | 
   
    |  | 
   
    | 3) Optimality
    of Ju and Li’s: only true if underlying code 
 | 
   
    |  | 
   
    | is singly extended RS code, using
    doubly extended 
 |  | 
   
    |  | 
   
    | RS codes provides better guarantees,
    for example 
 |  | 
   
    |  | 
   
    | 4) What about average case performance?
