Prediction of propagation parameters in frequency hopping spread spectrum

Frequency hopping spread spectrum (FH-SS) has found a number of applications in both CDMA and TDMA cellular systems, wireless local loop, and wireless local area networks. Propagation studies and statistical analysis are employed to show that the frequency hopped channel displays improved short-term characteristics when compared to the non-hopped case. Furthermore, novel analyses of the short-term statistics of the frequency-hopped channel enable prediction of the performance of an FH system
