Abstract :
A constant composition code is a special constant weight code under the restriction that each symbol should appear a given number of times in each codeword. In this paper, we give an asymptotically optimal lower bound for the maximum size of the q-ary constant composition codes with minimum distance at least 3. In addition, a number of optimum constant composition codes are obtained by using three constructions.
