Expected Forward Progress and Throughput of Multi-Hop Frequency-Hopped Spread-Spectrum Networks

Abstract

Secondary multiple-access interference processes are characterized for multi-hop packet radio networks in which users are assumed to be Poisson-distributed in the plane and to use frequency-hopped spread-spectrum signaling with a receiver-oriented assign- ment of frequency-hopping patterns. The throughput per node and the average forward progress are then evaluated for frequency-hopped multi-hop networks which employ (i) random forward routing with fixed transmission radius (RFR) and (ii) most forward pro- gress routing with fixed transmission radius (MF%R). The optimal average number of neighbors and transmission radius are derived for these cases when Reed-Solomon forward-error-control coding with minimum distance decoding or binary convolutional coding with Viterbi decoding is employed.
