Expressions are found for the probability of error of a slow frequency-hopped spread-spectrum (FHSS) M-ary frequency shift keyed (FSK) multiple-access system in the presence of slow-nonselective Rayleigh or "single-term" Rician fading. The analysis is general enough for the consideration of the near/far problem under the specified channel conditions. Comparisons are made between the error expressions developed here and previously published [2] upper bounds. It is found, under certain conditions, that the previous upper bounds on the probability of error may exceed the true probability of error by an order of magnitude.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
