Mutual interference of asynchronous frequency hopping communication networks

The paper analyzes the mutual interference of asynchronous frequency hopping (FH) communication networks. The transmitter-receiver pair is located in the same area where N interfering users are distributed according to a specified probability density function. The modulation is CBPSK and all users employ the same FH parameters. Linear interference (co-channel and adjacent-channel) is assumed and the analysis is performed for various distributions of the interferers. It is shown that the total average bit error probability of the desired link is almost independent of the particular distribution (Bell shaped, Rayleigh or Uniform).
