FH-SSMA with band-efficient modulations over cellular radio channels

We present frequency hopped spread-spectrum multiple-access (FH-SSMA) employing band-efficient modulations that are phase-continuous during each hop. The particular cases of minimum-shift keying (MSK), and Gaussian minimum-shift keying (GMSK) are studied in detail. Noncoherent sequence estimation on a hop-by-hop basis is considered. Has been evaluated in selective Rayleigh fading with additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) and the presence of multiple-access cellular interference. Power control is employed for improving the BER performance. This system performance is better than the performance of FH-SSMA with noncoherent binary FSK modulation.<
