Abstract: A frequency-hopping packet communication system without a master clock or master control unit is based on use of a receiver's frequency hopping timing and identification to control communication. A frequency-hopping band plan, involving the number of channels and the pseudo-random pattern of frequency change and nominal timing of changes, is universally known to each node in the network. Frequency-hopping is implemented by the division of communication slots and the accumulation of slots into epochs, wherein each epoch equals the total number of available slots (number of channels times the number of time frames per channel). A transmitting node tracks the preestablished frequency-hopping pattern for its target receiver based on previously-acquired information. The transmission node identifies a receiver node and a current frequency channel of such receiver node. The transmission node then checks the frequency channel to determine if available (e.g., not in use and within an acceptable noise margin). If unavailable, the transmission node delays transmission to the identified node to a later slot. During the delay, the transmission node identifies another receiver node and a corresponding current frequency channel. The steps of identifying a receiver node and checking the corresponding current frequency channel are repeated until a node having an available frequency channel is identified. The transmission node then sends a packet to the selected receiver node at a frequency and for a duration defined according to the current slot. Such transmission node tracks the changing frequency of the selected receiver node to maintain frequency synchronization.
TL;DR: In this paper, a frequency agile spread spectrum radio system which is capable of efficient frequency re-use and frequency sharing is proposed, where the receiver adaptively learns which frequencies to avoid and sends redundant transmissions on widely separated pseudo-random carrier frequencies to overcome jammed channels.
Abstract: A frequency agile spread spectrum radio system which is capable of efficient frequency re-use and frequency sharing. The receiver (101) adaptively learns which frequencies to avoid. The transmitter (104) sends redundant transmissions on widely separated pseudo-random carrier frequencies to overcome jammed channels. A coded preamble is used to provide a greatly enhanced hybrid form of Time Division Multiple Access/Frequency Division Multiple Access for co-existence and frequency re-use with nearby systems. Anti-jam margins of 60 to 90 dB can be inexpensively achieved, far exceeding that of traditional direct sequence systems.
TL;DR: This paper carries out interference analysis between GEO and MEO satellite systems considering the case of the O3b satellite system and proposes an adaptive power control technique for both the uplink and downlink scenarios in order to mitigate the in-line interference.
TL;DR: In this paper, the receiver at each node is assigned a seed value and is provided with a channel punchout mask, which is used to generate a specific randomly ordered channel hopping band plan on which to receive signals.
Abstract: In a wireless packet communication system having a plurality of nodes, each having a transmitter and a receiver, the receiver at each node is assigned a seed value and is provided with a channel punchout mask. A node uses its seed value and punchout mask to generate a specific randomly ordered channel hopping band plan on which to receive signals. A node transmits its seed value and punchout mask to target nodes with which it wants to establish communication links, and those target nodes each use the seed value and punchout mask to generate the randomly ordered channel hopping band plan for that node. Subsequently, when one of the target nodes wish to transmit to the node, the target node changes frequency to the frequency of the node according to that node's band plan.
TL;DR: In the proposed system, OFDM hotspot communication is overlapped to the uplink of MC-DS-CDMA cellular system in the same frequency band and the beam-forming method is applied to eliminate inter-system interference and the orthogonality of each user is kept.
