Peak-To-Mean Power Control In Ofdm, Golay Complementary Sequences, And Reed–Muller Codes, James A. Davis, Jonathan Jedwab Nov 1999

Peak-To-Mean Power Control In Ofdm, Golay Complementary Sequences, And Reed–Muller Codes, James A. Davis, Jonathan Jedwab

Department of Math & Statistics Faculty Publications

We present a range of coding schemes for OFDM transmission using binary, quaternary, octary, and higher order modulation that give high code rates for moderate numbers of carriers. These schemes have tightly bounded peak-to-mean envelope power ratio (PMEPR) and simultaneously have good error correction capability. The key theoretical result is a previously unrecognized connection between Golay complementary sequences and second-order Reed–Muller codes over alphabets ℤ2h. We obtain additional flexibility in trading off code rate, PMEPR, and error correction capability by partitioning the second-order Reed–Muller code into cosets such that codewords with large values of PMEPR are isolated. …


Some Recent Developments In Difference Sets, James A. Davis, Jonathan Jedwab Jan 1999

Some Recent Developments In Difference Sets, James A. Davis, Jonathan Jedwab

Department of Math & Statistics Faculty Publications

There are five known parameter families for (v, k, λ, n)- difference sets satisfying gcd(v, n)>1: the Hadamard, McFarland, Spence, Davis-Jedwab, and Chen families. The authors recently gave a recursive unifying construction for difference sets from the first four families which relies on relative difference sets. We give an overview of this construction and show that, by modifying it to use divisible difference sets in place of relative difference sets, the recent difference set discoveries of Chen can be brought within the unifying framework. We also demonstrate the recursive use of an auxiliary construction for …


A Unified Approach To Difference Sets With Gcd(V, N) > 1, James A. Davis, Jonathan Jedwab Jan 1999

A Unified Approach To Difference Sets With Gcd(V, N) > 1, James A. Davis, Jonathan Jedwab

Department of Math & Statistics Faculty Publications

The five known families of difference sets whose parameters (v, k, λ; n) satisfy the condition gcd(v,n) > 1 are the McFarland, Spence, Davis-Jedwab, Hadamard and Chen families. We survey recent work which uses recursive techniques to unify these difference set families, placing particular emphasis on examples. This unified approach has also proved useful for studying semi-regular relative difference sets and for constructing new symmetric designs.
