New families of asymptotically optimal codebooks from vectorial dual-bent functions

Abstract: Codebooks with small maximum cross-correlation amplitudes play an important role in many applications, such as code division multiple access (CDMA) communication systems, multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) communications, compressed sensing, and coding theory. In this paper, by using vectorial dual-bent functions, we construct several families of codebooks that asymptotically achieve the Welch bound. The maximum cross-correlation amplitudes and the distributions of the cross-correlation amplitudes of the constructed codebooks are explicitly determined. Furthermore, these codebooks have new parameters, and some of them have very small alphabet sizes.
