We present a new protocol that is based on consecutive, synchronous transmissions. By aligning transmissions based on timeouts, the protocol becomes more resilient to interference. We propose two methods to mitigate the effect of less accurate temporal packet alignment, namely time synchronization and random transmit powers.

Frequency hopping is a central method in wireless communication, offering improved resistance to adversarial interference and interception attempts, and easy non-coordinated control in dynamic environments. In this paper, we introduce a new model that supports a rigorous study of frequency hopping in adversarial settings. We then propose new frequency hopping protocols that allow a sender-recei...

0 0 0 Abstract-The information theoretic capacity of frequency-hop spread-spectrum multiple-access communication is considered. In order to account for independent encoding and decoding and private (to the sender and receiver) hopping patterns an interference channel model is adopted with K sender-receiver pairs with the ith receiver only interested in the message transmitted by the ith sender....

In this paper a coded OFDMA downlink concept in a multi-cell environment is analyzed. A resource management can be applied for the downlink transmission scheme and this can improve the performance for low system loads. The paper also examines the use of a time/frequency hopping component. For reducing simulation complexity, the Gaussian approximation is investigated as an assumption for the exi...
