5 Conclusions and Discussion
In this paper we have studied the first two moments of the periodic partial cor-
relation functions of Galois ring
m
-sequences which form
Families A, B, C
and
obtained complete results for the first partial correlation moment. For the case
of
Family A
, we have also obtained local and global second partial correlation
moments. The local second moment characterizes the variability of the interfer-
ence a given signal experiences with respect to all the other signals in a CDMA
system.
It is of interest to extend this work to further sequence families, such as
S
(2)
in[5] which is a superset of Family A. The extension of the second moment results
to
Family B
from [1] and
Family C
and
Family D
from [9] is challenging and is
left for future work.
