In this work we focus on a connection between sumsets and covering codes in an arbitrary finite module. For this purpose, bounds on a new problem on sumsets are obtained from well-known results of additive number theory, namely, the Cauchy-Davenport theorem, the Vosper theorem and a theorem due to Hamidoune-Rødseth. As an application, the approach is able to extend the Blokhuis-Lam theorems and a construction of covering codes by Honkala to an arbitrary module.

Keywords: Sumset, arithmetic progression, covering code, code over a ring, matrix method, bound on code.
