Analysis of FHMA performance based on non-period chaotic frequency hopping sequences

Abstract

The paper suggests a kind of packet protocol for frequency-hopping networks based on chaotic non-periodic frequency-hopping (FH) sequences. The packet error and throughput performance of a frequency-hopping multi-access (FHMA) network are derived theoretically. It is shown that the ratio of the packet length to the frequency-hopping points is the key parameter to determining the FHMA system performance under the condition of a large number of users. Computer simulation results of the logistic chaotic sequences are also included to support our development.
