Punctured Bent Function Sequences for Watermarked DS-CDMA

In this letter, we investigate the effect of inserting some randomly generated watermarking chips into known spreading sequences in terms of periodic correlations; moreover, we give two design criteria for good watermarked sequences in the sense of: 1) reducing the average correlation value and 2) minimizing the variance of correlations. For n = 2m with even m, we propose a set of 2m-1 punctured b...
