Expansion of Linear Span and Family Size to Several Families of Known Sequences
In a direct-sequence spread spectrum communication system, its multiple access interference, security and user number are mainly decided by correlation, linear span and family size of spreading sequences employed by such a system, respectively. In this letter, based on several families of the known sequences, a method for improving their linear span and family sizes is presented. It is worthy of mentioning that although the number of the proposed sequences with linear span not less than that of the known sequences is enormously increased, the former's correlation distribution is the same as the latter's one. In addition, the proposed sequences include No sequences and the known sequences mentioned above as special cases.
