Study of MFSK/FH-CDMA wireless communication systems without symbol-synchronous assumption

Abstract

We propose a more accurate method to analyze multilevel frequency-shift-keying frequency-hopping code-division multiple-access (MFSK/FH-CDMA) wireless communication systems using ldquoone-hitrdquo FH patterns, instead of random FH patterns. By also removing the over-optimistic symbol-synchronous assumption, the new method provides a more realistic performance analysis as the MFSK modulation may result in two hits even when one-hit FH patterns are used if symbol transmissions are not synchronized.
