Solution Overview

Problem

Existing methods for generating zero correlation zone (ZCZ) sequence sets lack flexibility in adjusting the sequence length and number of sequences, resulting in a relatively short zero correlation zone, making it difficult to design ZCZ sequence sets that meet specific requirements for wireless communication systems.

Innovation Solution

A parametric generating method for ZCZ sequence sets involves determining the sequence length, number of sequences, and zero correlation zone length, using a limited symbol set, constructing a DFT matrix, unitary matrix, and coefficient matrix, and employing iterative combinations to generate ZCZ sequence sets with desired properties, allowing for flexible relations between sequence length and number of sequences.

1Adaptability or versatility

If existing generation methods are used, then ZCZ sequence sets can be generated, but the zero correlation zone length is relatively short and the relation between sequence length and number of sequences is not flexible

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies dynamics by making the sequence generation process adaptable and adjustable. The method allows dynamic selection of sequence length N, number of sequences M, and zero correlation zone length Z through parametric control. The iterative combination mode enables the system to adapt to different requirements by adjusting parameters, transforming a static generation process into a dynamic one that can respond to varying system needs.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 2:

The patent directly applies parameter changes by introducing multiple controllable parameters (sequence length N, number of sequences M, zero correlation zone length Z, iteration count) that can be independently adjusted. By changing these parameters, the system can generate different ZCZ sequence sets with desired properties, achieving both flexibility in sequence configuration and extension of zero correlation zone length through optimized parameter selection.

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies segmentation by dividing the sequence generation process into distinct modular steps: determining system requirements, selecting initial sequences, constructing DFT and unitary matrices, performing iterative combinations, and generating final ZCZ sequence sets. This segmented approach allows each step to be independently optimized and controlled, enabling customization while managing complexity through systematic breakdown of the generation process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent enables customization through dynamic parameter adjustment at each stage of the generation process. The iterative combination mode allows the system to adapt to different requirements by adjusting the number of iterations and selecting different initial sequences, matrices, and combination modes, thereby achieving high adaptability without proportionally increasing overall system complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Length of stationary object

If sequence length and number of sequences are fixed, then generation is simple, but the zero correlation zone cannot be extended to meet optimal requirements

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-defining the target zero correlation zone length Z and required sequence parameters before the generation process. The method performs preliminary calculations to determine the optimal number of iterations and selection of initial sequences that will achieve the desired zero correlation zone length. This preliminary planning enables the extension of zero correlation zone without excessive complexity during the actual generation phase.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements feedback through the iterative combination mode, where each iteration refines the sequence set based on correlation properties. The process continuously evaluates the zero correlation zone length and adjusts subsequent iterations accordingly, providing feedback control that extends the zero correlation zone to optimal lengths while managing complexity through systematic refinement rather than brute-force approaches.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
