Non-standard Golay Complementary Sequence Pair over QAM
We generalize the three-stage process for constructing and enumerating Golay array and sequence pairs given in 2008 by Frank Fiedler et al. [A multi-dimensional approach to the construction and enumeration of Golay complementary sequences, Journal of Combinatorial Theory, Series A 115 (2008) 753-776] to 4^q-QAM constellation based on para-unitary matrix method, which partly solves their open questions. Our work not only includes the main part of known results of Golay complementary sequences over 4^q-QAM based on Boolean functions and standard Golay sequence pairs over QPSK, but also generates new Golay complementary arrays (sequences) over 4^q-QAM based on non-standard Golay array pairs over QPSK.
