Constructions of complementary sequence sets and complete complementary codes by 2-level autocorrelation sequences and permutation polynomials

Abstract

In this paper, a recent method to construct complementary sequence sets and complete complementary codes by Hadamard matrices is deeply studied. By taking the algebraic structure of Hadamard matrices into consideration, our main result determine the so-called $\delta$-linear terms and $\delta$-quadratic terms. As a first consequence, a powerful theory linking Golay complementary sets of $p$-ary ($p$ prime) sequences and the generalized Reed-Muller codes by Kasami et al. is developed. These codes enjoy good error-correcting capability, tightly controlled PMEPR, and significantly extend the range of coding options for applications of OFDM using $p^n$ subcarriers. As another consequence, we make a previously unrecognized connection between the sequences in CSSs and CCCs and the sequence with 2-level autocorrelation, trace function and permutation polynomial (PP) over the finite fields.
