Parallelisation of suboptimal spectrum search
John E. Hershey, Karl J. Molnar, and Mohamed I. Hassan · Electronics Letters · 1992
The purpose of the Letter is to suggest that effective algorithms for spectrum search, such as those used for detecting spread spectrum signals, may be derived by selecting sub-optimal algorithms and then recovering some of the lost efficacy through parallelisation methods. This thesis is motivated by considering a simple yet meaningful example of a spectrum search technique that exhibits what at first may seem to be counterintuitive behaviour.
