Spread Spectrum Mobile Radio Communications.
Abstract
In this report, we analyze the performance of frequency-hopped spread-spectrum systems under mobile radio channel conditions. Because of its good spectrum-efficiency, frequency-hopped systems seen to be natural candidates for mobile telephony in the near future. We analyze mainly the Frequency-Hopped-Multilevel Frequency Shift-Keyed (FH-MFSK) System, the reason being the established superiority of FH-MFSK over the other modulation, namely the Frequency-Hopped Differential Phase Shift Keyed system (FH-DPSK), under identical conditions. Our new results include the spectrum efficiency analysis of FH-MFSK for various bandwidths of interest, the performance analysis of FH-MFSK under the influence of log-normal shadowing and Rayleigh fading, the possible performance improvement with the inclusion of a small number of space-diversity branches to combat the losses due to fading, a preliminary analysis of the occurence of burst errors in FH systems, the amount of degradation due to the users operating in the adjacent cells and a possible power control scheme to mitigate these effects and finally a result which establishes the near-equivalent performance of the hard-limited and the likelihood receivers under Rayleigh fading and multi-user interference conditions.
