FH‐SSMA with Band‐efficient modulations over cellular fading channels
Americo M. C. Correia, Augusto A. de Albuquerque · European Transactions on Telecommunications · 1996
Abstract We present frequency hopped spread‐spectrum multiple‐access (FH‐SSMA) employing bandwidth‐efficient modulations that are phase‐continuous during each hop. The particular cases of minimum‐shift keying (MSK), and Gaussian minimum‐shift keying (GMSK) are studied in detail. Noncoherent sequence estimation on a hop‐by‐hop basis is considered. System performance has been evaluated in selective Rayleigh fading with additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) and the presence of multiple‐access cellular interference. This system performance is better than the performance of FH‐SSMA with noncoherent binary FSK modulation. The effects of power control, different fading covariance functions and different power bandwidth definitions are investigated.
