Random Binary Sequences in Telecommunications

Realization of modern telecommunication systems is inconceivable without use of different binary sequences. In this paper, an overview of random binary sequences used in different telecommunication systems is given. Basic principles of pseudorandom, chaotic, and true random sequence generation are presented, as well as their application in telecommunications in respect to advantages and drawbacks of the same. Moreover, particular scheme for true random binary sequence generation is given, as well as results of randomness assessment obtained by NIST statistical test suite. Finally, short insight into importance of random binary sequence in secure communications is given.
