Optimal transmission ranges and code rates for frequency-hop packet radio networks.

We consider a frequency-hopping multihop packet radio network using M-ary frequency-shift keying modulation in a Rayleigh fading environment. Each node transmits packets using an extended (n, k) Reed-Solomon code and the slotted ALOHA channel access protocol. For this network, we determine the optim...
