Abstract :
The application of concatenated coding to frequency-hop packet radio is examined. Upper bounds on the packet error probability are developed for a concatenated coding system which uses a properly interleaved Reed-Solomon outer code and a convolutional inner code with Viterbi decoding. Through the use of these upper bounds, performance tradeoffs are investigated for frequency-hop communications over channels with full-band and partial-band Gaussian noise
