A Generalized Construction of OFDM M-QAM Sequences With Low Peak-to-Average Power Ratio
A construction of -QAM sequences is given and an upper bound of the
peak-to-mean envelope power ratio (PMEPR) is determined. Some former works can
be viewed as special cases of this construction.Comment: published by Advances in Mathematics of Communication
A Systematic Framework for the Construction of Optimal Complete Complementary Codes
The complete complementary code (CCC) is a sequence family with ideal
correlation sums which was proposed by Suehiro and Hatori. Numerous literatures
show its applications to direct-spread code-division multiple access (DS-CDMA)
systems for inter-channel interference (ICI)-free communication with improved
spectral efficiency. In this paper, we propose a systematic framework for the
construction of CCCs based on -shift cross-orthogonal sequence families
(-CO-SFs). We show theoretical bounds on the size of -CO-SFs and CCCs,
and give a set of four algorithms for their generation and extension. The
algorithms are optimal in the sense that the size of resulted sequence families
achieves theoretical bounds and, with the algorithms, we can construct an
optimal CCC consisting of sequences whose lengths are not only almost arbitrary
but even variable between sequence families. We also discuss the family size,
alphabet size, and lengths of constructible CCCs based on the proposed
algorithms
Low Correlation Sequences over the QAM Constellation
This paper presents the first concerted look at low correlation sequence
families over QAM constellations of size M^2=4^m and their potential
applicability as spreading sequences in a CDMA setting.
Five constructions are presented, and it is shown how such sequence families
have the ability to transport a larger amount of data as well as enable
variable-rate signalling on the reverse link.
Canonical family CQ has period N, normalized maximum-correlation parameter
theta_max bounded above by A sqrt(N), where 'A' ranges from 1.8 in the 16-QAM
case to 3.0 for large M. In a CDMA setting, each user is enabled to transfer 2m
bits of data per period of the spreading sequence which can be increased to 3m
bits of data by halving the size of the sequence family. The technique used to
construct CQ is easily extended to produce larger sequence families and an
example is provided.
Selected family SQ has a lower value of theta_max but permits only (m+1)-bit
data modulation. The interleaved 16-QAM sequence family IQ has theta_max <=
sqrt(2) sqrt(N) and supports 3-bit data modulation.
The remaining two families are over a quadrature-PAM (Q-PAM) subset of size
2M of the M^2-QAM constellation. Family P has a lower value of theta_max in
comparison with Family SQ, while still permitting (m+1)-bit data modulation.
Interleaved family IP, over the 8-ary Q-PAM constellation, permits 3-bit data
modulation and interestingly, achieves the Welch lower bound on theta_max.Comment: 21 pages, 3 figures. To appear in IEEE Transactions on Information
