Abstract
Ad hoc networks have long been considered for military tactical communications under the more familiar name Packet Radio Networks. Recently, however, use of ad hoc networking technology in commercial systems has been investi gated. Ad hoc networks represent a communication concept, which is not dependent on preexisting infrastructure. Thus ad hoc networks can be rapidly deployed, without prior planning and in unknown radio propagation conditions. In this chapter we consider a modification of the FH/MFSK system to include multitone MFSK signal which will be designated as mMFSK modulation in conjunction with the ad hoc networking principles. In mMFSK case the signal energy is split to m separate tones. This will reduce the signal power spectral density by factor 1/m and make it more attractive for applications such as low probability of intercept systems. Different versions of mMFSK approach have been described earlier without in depth analysis of the performance. The main contribution of this chapter is a detailed performance analysis of this system under different channel, network load and jamming conditions. The results demonstrate that under the large range of the signal, channel, network load and interference parameters the new system offers better performance.
