Abstract :
The performance is compared for slow-frequency-hop and direct-sequence spread-spectrum packet communication systems of similar complexity with doubly selective fading channels characterized by several different multipath delay profiles and Doppler spreads. The delay profiles are chosen to reflect experimental measurements of mobile-radio channels, and the Doppler spreads are chosen to represent the range of carrier frequencies and vehicle speeds encountered in common mobile communication systems.
