A high-fidelity statistical model of frequency hopping interference for fast simulation

Testing existing or developing new military waveforms requires computationally efficient simulations to allow for large scenarios that would not be feasible with hardware. However, fast running simulations have typically not represented wireless interference, especially frequency hopping interference, accurately. We develop the first major step toward a high-fidelity statistical model of frequency hopping interference that allows for much faster simulation times than high-fidelity deterministic models and even allows for real-time emulations of relatively large networks. We analyze the accuracy of our model by comparing it to the deterministic model it is based on, and we show some performance results by measuring computation times for a wide range of number of interferers.
