A new generalized approach for performance evaluation of communication systems with intentional/non-intentional jamming

In this work, a new generalized approach is proposed to evaluate the probability of error performance of communication systems in the presence of interference. The interference can be intentional such as multitone jamming, or non-intentional such as multiple access interference or co-channel interference. As an example, the new approach is applied to compute the exact probability of error for a frequency hopping spread spectrum system with noncoherently demodulated M-ary amplitude shift keying signal in the presence of multitone jamming and white Gaussian noise.
