Quasi-cyclic (QC) codes are a remarkable generalization of cyclic codes. Many QC codes have been shown to be best for their parameters. In this paper, some structural properties of QC codes over the prime power integer residue ringare considered. Anl-QC code of lengthlmoveris viewed both as in the conventional row circulant form and also as a-submodule of, whereGR(q,l) is the Galois extension ring of degreelover. A necessary and sufficient condition for cyclic codes over Galois rings to be free is obtained and a BCH type bound for them is also given. A sufficient condition for 1-generator QC codes to be-free is given and a formula to evaluate their ranks is derived. Some distance bounds for 1-generator QC codes are also discussed. The duals of QC codes overare also briefly discussed.
