Influence of guard times on the performance of slotted frequency-hopped spread spectrum multiple access systems
C.T. Ong, Victor C. M. Leung · IEEE Transactions on Communications · 1996
A number of authors have examined the problem of determining the codeword error probability, P/sub e/, in an asynchronous frequency-hopped spread spectrum multiple access (FH-SSMA) communication system. In this letter, we present a method for determining P/sub e/ in a time-slotted system which incorporates a guard time and study the effect of the guard time on P/sub e/ and some other performance measures.
