New sets of optimal low-hit-zone frequency-hopping sequences based on m-sequences

Abstract

In quasi-synchronous frequency-hopping multiple-access systems where relative delays are restricted within a certain correlation zone, low-hit-zone frequency-hopping sequences (LHZ-FHSs) are commonly employed to minimize multiple-access interferences. In this paper, we present two classes of optimal LHZ-FHS sets with respect to the Peng-Fan-Lee bound, which are obtained from an m-sequence and its decimated sequence, respectively. The parameters of these LHZ-FHS sets are new and flexible.
