A Family of Binary Sequences with Optimal Correlation Property and Large Linear Span
A family of binary sequences is presented and proved to have optimal
correlation property and large linear span. It includes the small set of Kasami
sequences, No sequence set and TN sequence set as special cases. An explicit
lower bound expression on the linear span of sequences in the family is given.
With suitable choices of parameters, it is proved that the family has
exponentially larger linear spans than both No sequences and TN sequences. A
class of ideal autocorrelation sequences is also constructed and proved to have
large linear span.Comment: 21 page
New Optimal Binary Sequences with Period via Interleaving Ding-Helleseth-Lam Sequences
Binary sequences with optimal autocorrelation play important roles in radar,
communication, and cryptography. Finding new binary sequences with optimal
autocorrelation has been an interesting research topic in sequence design.
Ding-Helleseth-Lam sequences are such a class of binary sequences of period
, where is an odd prime with . The objective of this
letter is to present a construction of binary sequences of period via
interleaving four suitable Ding-Helleseth-Lam sequences. This construction
generates new binary sequences with optimal autocorrelation which can not be
produced by earlier ones
QPSK Block-Modulation Codes for Unequal Error Protection
Unequal error protection (UEP) codes find applications in broadcast channels, as well as in other digital communication systems, where messages have different degrees of importance. Binary linear UEP (LUEP) codes combined with a Gray mapped QPSK signal set are used to obtain new efficient QPSK block-modulation codes for unequal error protection. Several examples of QPSK modulation codes that have the same minimum squared Euclidean distance as the best QPSK modulation codes, of the same rate and length, are given. In the new constructions of QPSK block-modulation codes, even-length binary LUEP codes are used. Good even-length binary LUEP codes are obtained when shorter binary linear codes are combined using either the well-known |u¯|u¯+v¯|-construction or the so-called construction X. Both constructions have the advantage of resulting in optimal or near-optimal binary LUEP codes of short to moderate lengths, using very simple linear codes, and may be used as constituent codes in the new constructions. LUEP codes lend themselves quite naturally to multistage decoding up to their minimum distance, using the decoding of component subcodes. A new suboptimal two-stage soft-decision decoding of LUEP codes is presented and its application to QPSK block-modulation codes for UEP illustrated
