Frequency and interference diversity in slow frequency hopping multiple access systems
Marco Chiani, E. Agrati, M. Mezzetti, Oreste Andrisano · 2002
An analytical approach is proposed to evaluate the performance of a slow frequency hopping (SFH) mobile radio system. The effects of frequency diversity and interference diversity are investigated by considering the use of error correcting codes, multipath Rayleigh fading and cochannel interference; by means of an analytical procedure and proper definition of carrier-to-interference ratio the role of several parameters such as the number of hopping frequencies and system load are emphasized.
