REED-SOLOMON CODED FREQUENCY-HOPPED PACKET RADIO NETWORKS WITH RECEIVER MEMORY, THROUGHPUT-DELAY ANALYSIS

Abstract

This paper investigates the performance of frequency hopped packet radio networks which employ a memory at the receiver. The main feature of the memory is that all successive transmissions are utilized for packet reconstruction. Two schemes based on RS codes are investigated. System performance is analyzed in both slotted and unslotted channels. Fixed and adaptive packet lengths are considered. It is demonstrated that it is possible to achieve high throughput even in dense jamming environments.
