We examine the main linear coding theory problem and study the structure of optimal linear codes over the ring $\mathbb Z_m.$ We derive bounds on the maximum Hamming weight of these codes. We give bounds on the best linear codes over $\mathbb Z_8$ and $\mathbb Z_9$ of lengths up to 6. We determine the minimum distances of optimal linear codes over $\mathbb Z_4$ for lengths up to $7$. Some examples of optimal codes are given.
Keywords: linear codes, optimal codes, codes over rings
