Analysis of Coded FHSS Systems with Multiple Access Interference in Nakagami Fading

This paper studies the effect of multiple access interference (MAI) on the performance of coded FHSS systems. This is achieved by modelling the physical channel in these networks as a block fading channel with the hopping rate as a network parameter. From this, error performance of convolutionally coded FHSS systems is derived by finding the exact interference statistics and averaging over it.
