Claim:
A method for constructing a set of Zero-Correlation-Zone (ZCZ) Concatenated Complementary Pair (CCP) sequences of length 2L×N with zero-correlation-zone range equal to one and set size greater than two, for use in a transceiver of a communication system, the method comprising: selecting sequences A and B of length N that form a complementary pair; selecting an initial set of sign sequences p A (w) and p B (w) of length L/2; interleaving and concatenating the initial set of sign sequences p A (w) and p B (w) to generate sign sequences p A (w+1) and p B (w+1) of length L; and for each member of the set of ZCZ CCP sequences: combining the sign sequences p A (w+1) and p B (w+1) with the complementary pair sequences A and B to form the member ZCZ CCP sequence; and selecting one or more sequences of the set of ZCZ CCP sequences for use in the transceiver of the communication system, where, for each set member of the initial set of sign sequences, the sign sequences p A (w) and p B (w) satisfy a first condition that the sign sequence p A (w) is uncorrelated with the sign sequence p B (w) at lag=0 and at lag=−1, and where elements of the sign sequences p A (w) and p B (w) satisfy the condition p A,0 (w) ·p A,L/4 (w) =−p B,L/4−1 (w) ·p B,L/2−1 (w) , and where the ZCZ CCP sequences facilitate communication.
