A Direct Construction of Optimal Symmetrical Z-Complementary Code Sets of Prime Power Lengths
share
This paper presents a direct construction of an optimal symmetrical Z-complementary code set (SZCCS) of prime power lengths using a multi-variable function (MVF). SZCCS is a natural extension of the Z-complementary code set (ZCCS), which has only front-end zero correlation zone (ZCZ) width. SZCCS has both front-end and tail-end ZCZ width. SZCCSs are used in developing optimal training sequences for broadband generalized spatial modulation systems over frequency-selective channels because they have ZCZ width on both the front and tail ends. The construction of optimal SZCCS with large set sizes and prime power lengths is presented for the first time in this paper. Furthermore, it is worth noting that several existing works on ZCCS and SZCCS can be viewed as special cases of the proposed construction.
