Abstract: The maximum size of t-intersecting families is one of the most celebrated topics in combinatorics, and its size is known as the Erd}os-Ko-Rado theorem. Such intersecting families, also known as constant-weight anticodes in coding theory, were considered in a generalization of the well-known sphere-packing bound. In this work we consider the maximum size of t-intersecting families and their associated maxi mum size constant-weight anticodes over alphabet of size q > 2. It is proved that the structure of the maximum size constant-weight anticodes with the same length, weight, and diameter, depends on the alphabet size. This structure implies some hierarchy of constant-weight anticodes.
