Coding for Frequency-Hopped Spread-Spectrum Channels with Partial-Band Interference.
Abstract
The performance of codes on frequency-hopped spread-spectrum channels with partial-band interference is investigated. The asymptotic performance of codes is measured by the channel capacity and the random coding exponent. The performance of specific codes is measured by the bit error probability. The channel models we consider are quite general and include channels with unknown parameters, channels which change with time, and channels with memory. These models are applicable to frequency-hopped spread-spectrum communication systems as well as to several other communication systems. We formulate the problem of communicating over channels with unknown transition probabilities (i.e. communicating over channels with jamming) as a game theory problem with payoff function being the mutual information between the channel input and the channel output. Under certain restrictions it is shown that memoryless coding and jamming strategies are simultaneously optimal strategies. Next we develop simple, yet accurate, models for many channels with memory that arise in practice. The channel statistics are constant for blocks of symbols of fixed length. The receiver is said to have side information if it can determine the channel statistics for each block of symbols transmitted.
