Sets of Wide-Gap Frequency-Hopping Sequence With Optimal Maximum Hamming Correlation

Abstract

In application, frequency-hopping (FH) communication system often suffers various interferences, such as single frequency narrow-band interference, partial band blocking interference and tracking interference, and so on. For all that, by using optimal Wide-Gap (WG) FH sequences, FH communication system can significantly improve the anti-interference performances. In this paper, the relations betweenWG FH sequence theoretic bounds published in the journal IEEE Access (Peihua Li et al., 2019) are first made clear, and then five types of generalized methods are presented to design new classes of WG FH sequence sets. It is shown that all designed WG FH sequence sets are optimal according to the bound derived by Peihua Li et al. And by selecting appropriate original sequence sets, many of the optimal WG FH sequence sets can be obtained by our methods. Most importantly, these WG FH sequence sets have new parameters that are not covered in the literature.
