Frequency-Hopped Spread-Spectrum Random Access With Local Adapation

Abstract

A decentralised transmission policy that rejects a blocked packet that has been retransmitted a number of times is analysed for the frequency-hopping channel. For stability considerations and for channel throughput increase, the information packet is enclosed by a Reed-Solomon code. The way in which the code rate should bc adjusted and the number of transmission attempt pairs that guarantees network stability are investigated.
