More cyclotomic constructions of optimal frequency-hopping sequences

In this paper, some general properties of the Zeng-Cai-Tang-Yang cyclotomy are studied. As its applications, two constructions of frequency-hopping sequences (FHSs) and two constructions of FHS sets are presented, where the length of sequences can be any odd integer larger than 3. The FHSs and FHS sets generated by our construction are (near-) optimal with respect to the Lempel–Greenberger bound and Peng–Fan bound, respectively. By choosing appropriate indexes and index sets, a lot of (near-) optimal FHSs and FHS sets can be obtained by our construction. Furthermore, some of them have new parameters which are not covered in the literature.
