The Cross-Correlation Distribution of the Niho-Type Decimation d=4(2mβ1)+1
Abstract
The cross-correlation problem is a classical problem in sequence design. In this paper, we determine the cross-correlation distribution of the Niho-type decimation d=4(2mβ1)+1 over π½22m for every positive integer m. With q=2m, this is equivalent to determining the distribution of the number of roots in Uq+1 of fa(x)=x7+ax4+aΜ x3+1 for aβπ½q2, where Uq+1={xβπ½q2:xq+1=1}. The main difficulty is to count the four-element subsets of Uq+1 that may occur as root sets of fa. We normalize such subsets by their product and study the resulting condition through the associated resolvent. This reduces the required enumeration to several equations over π½q, which are evaluated by character sums and Kloosterman sums. The remaining mixed Kloosterman sum is related to a Kloosterman sum over π½22m and is evaluated using a theorem of Carlitz. Consequently, we obtain explicit formulas for all the frequencies in the cross-correlation distribution.

In this paper, we determine the cross-correlation distribution of the Niho-type decimation d=4(2^mβ1)+1 over π½_2^2m for every positive integer m. With q=2^m, this is equivalent to determining the distribution of the number of roots in U_q+1 of f_a(x)=x^7+ax^4+aΜ
x^3+1 for aβπ½_q^2, where U_q+1={xβπ½_q^2:x^q+1=1}. The main difficulty is to count the four-element subsets of U_q+1 that may occur as root sets of f_a. We normalize such subsets by their product and study the resulting condition through the associated resolvent.
