Addressing and Modulation for Frequency-Hopping Multiple Access

Abstract

This paper describes the common structure of a large class of frequency-hopping multiple-access address sequences of the so-called "one-coincidence" type. We show methods for expanding the address sets to great size without compromising performance, and compare frequency and phase modulation methods. We also describe methods for dealing with unsynchronizable signalling alphabets, which arise as a result of expanding the MFSK sets.
