A large class of binary ZCZ sequence families constructed by period doubling

In an Approximately Synchronized Code Division Multiple Access (AS-CDMA) commu-nication system,a family with large number of Zero Correlation Zone (ZCZ) sequences is desired,which can satisfy the rapid increase of users. This paper presents a method to generate a (2L ,2M ,Zc' z )-ZCZsequence family from an original (L ,M ,Z cz)-ZCZsequence family,where Z c' z =Zcz if Z czis even and Z c' z = Zcz 1if Z czis odd. This method can also recursively act on a ZCZ sequence family to construct a series of ZCZ sequence families with large sequence number and zero correlation zone length identical to or one less than that of original ZCZ sequences.
