Spread spectrum mobile radio communications

In this report, we present some additional results on the performance of Frequency Hopped Multilevel FSK (FH-MFSK) systems under mobile environment. This is followed by a review on packet radio networks and some results on the performance of a packet transmission technique in mobile radio channels. Simulation studies confirm the theoretical performance estimate of a FH-MFSK hard-limited receiver operating under adjacent cell interference conditions. Both simulation and approximate theoretical considerations testify the usefulness of a nonparametric receiver based on rank-sums. This receiver also possesses a robustness against changing probability models. It is believed that this receiver is a competing alternative to the parametric receivers, such as the hard-limited receiver.
