A direct construction of complete complementary code with zero correlation zone property for prime-power length

In this paper, we propose a direct construction of a novel type of code set which has combined properties of complete complementary code (CCC) and zero correlation zone (ZCZ) sequence set and which we call complete complementary-ZCZ (CC-ZCZ) code set. The code set is constructed using multivariate functions. The proposed construction also provides Golay-ZCZ codes of prime-power lengths. The proposed Golay-ZCZ codes are optimal and asymptotically optimal for binary and non-binary cases, respectively, by Tang-Fan-Matsufuzi bound. Furthermore, the proposed direct construction provides novel ZCZ sequences of length p k , where p is a prime number and k is an integer ≥ 2 . We establish a relationship between the proposed CC-ZCZ code set and the first-order generalized Reed-Muller (GRM) code, and prove that both have the same Hamming distance. We also count the number of CC-ZCZ code sets in first-order GRM codes. The column sequence peak-to-mean envelope power ratio (PMEPR) of the proposed CC-ZCZ code set is derived and compared with existing works. From the proposed construction, the Golay-ZCZ code and ZCZ sequences are also derived and compared with the existing works. The proposed construction generalizes many of the existing works.
