A novel construction of zero correlation zone sequences based on Boolean functions

Abstract

In this paper, a new direct construction of zero correlation zone (ZCZ) sequence sets based on the generalized Boolean functions is proposed. Different from quite a number of previous results in the literature, our method does not require other special sequences. The sequence length, the ZCZ length, the set size, and the constellation size are all very flexible. Optimal and almost optimal ZCZ sequence sets can be obtained.
