        <p>The various parameters of Zr-Simplex code under the Homogeneous and Lee weight metric for some particular cases of r with rank k are considered. Some fundamental properties like weight distributions of Zr-Simplex code are determined under the same metric. It is demonstrated that the Gray map generates several intriguing p-ary nonlinear codes of Zr-Simplex codes.</p>
