Abstract

Frequency-hopping spread spectrum and direct-sequence spread spectrum are two main spread coding technologies in communication systems. Frequency-hopping sequences are needed in FH-CDMA systems. In this paper, a construction of optimal sets of frequency-hopping sequences using cyclotomy and the Chinese remainder theorem is introduced. It generalizes some earlier constructions, and produces new optimal sets of frequency-hopping sequences.
