New Constructions of General QAM Golay Complementary Sequences

There have been five constructions (Cases I to V) of 64-QAM Golay complementary sequences (GCSs), of which the Cases IV and V constructions were identified by Chang in 2010. The Generalized Cases I-III constructions for 4^q-QAM (q ≥ 1) GCSs were additionally proposed by Li. In this paper, the Generalized Case IV and Generalized Case V constructions for 4^q-QAM (q > =3) GCSs are proposed using selected Gaussian integer pairs, each of which contains two distinct Gaussian integers with identical magnitude and which are not conjugate with each other.
