Examining the Linear Complexity of Multi-Value Sequence Generated by Power Residue Symbol

In our previous work, k-value pseudo random sequence generated by power residue symbol has been researched. The sequence is generated by applying a primitive polynomial over odd characteristics field, trace function, and power residue symbol. The sequence has some important features such as period, periodic autocorrelation, and linear complexity. In this paper, by applying an additional process to the previous procedure, an extended multi-value sequence is generated. Its features, such as the period, periodic autocorrelation, periodic crosscorrelation, and linear complexity are examined in this paper. According to the results, the new sequence also has some interesting features.
