Full-length non-linear binary sequences with Zero Correlation Zone for multiuser communications

The research on new sets of sequences to be used asspreading codes in multiple user communications is still an activearea, despite the great amount of literature available since manyyears on this topic. In fact, new paradigms like dense anddecentralized wireless networks, where there is no centralcontroller to assign the resources to the nodes, are revamping theinterest on large sets of sequences providing adequate correlationproperties to support a big number of nodes, in potentially hostilechannels. This paper focuses on the Zero Correlation Zone (ZCZ)property exhibited by a family of non-linear binary sequencesfeaturing a great cardinality of their set and good securityrelatedfeatures, and provides evidence of their suitability tomultiuser communications, in channels affected by multipath

none3noThe research on new sets of sequences that can be applied as spreading codes in multiple user communications is still an active area, even if this topic has been extensively investigated since long time.
