A Construction of Binary Golay Complementary Sets Based on Even-Shift Complementary Pairs

摘要

Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) has been widely used in multi-carrier communication systems. However, high the peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) is a very troublesome problem in OFDM system. In the paper, we propose a construction of Golay complementary sets (GCSs) with size 4 of flexible lengths using even-shift complementary pairs (ESCPs). Based on computer search, we find that there exist a large number of even-shift complementary pairs of various lengths, and we also propose some constructions of ESCPs, which are very useful for the construction of GCSs.
