Optimal Constructions of Low-Hit-Zone Frequency-Hopping Sequence Sets via Cyclotomy

In complex environments of wireless communication, to improve the communication anti-interference performance, quasi-synchronous frequency-hopping (FH) communication system requires low-hit-zone (LHZ) FH sequence sets with optimal Hamming correlation (HC) properties and flexible parameters. In this paper, based upon cyclotomy theory, two classes of LHZ FH sequence sets with flexible parameters not included in the literatures are designed, and the periodic HC properties of which are analyzed. It turns out that the designed LHZ FH sequence sets are optimal on the maximum periodic HC. And thus the new constructions can be used to provide optimal FH sequence sets for quasi-synchronous FH communication system.
