Direct Construction of Optimal Z-Complementary Code Sets for all Possible Even Length by Using Pseudo-Boolean Functions

Z-complementary code set (ZCCS) are well known to be used in multicarrier code-division multiple access (MCCDMA) system to provide a interference free environment. Based on the existing literature, the direct construction of optimal ZCCSs are limited to its length. In this paper, we are interested in constructing optimal ZCCSs of all possible even lengths using Pseudo-Boolean functions. The maximum column sequence peakto-man envelop power ratio (PMEPR) of the proposed ZCCSs is upper-bounded by two, which may give an extra benefit in managing PMEPR in an ZCCS based MC-CDMA system, as well as the ability to handle a large number of users.
