Abstract

In this paper, packet throughput is analyzed and simulated for a show FH/SSMA packet radio network with adaptive antenna array and packet combining in a Rayleigh fading channel with shadowing. The packet throughput is defined as the average number of captured packets per slot. To enhance the throughput performance, an adaptive spatial filtering through adaptive antenna array and a packet combining scheme are employed. As a random access protocol, slotted ALOHA is considered, and synchronous memoryless hopping patterns are assumed. A packet consists of codewords from an (n, k) RS (Reed-Solomon) code. The tap weights of an adaptive processor is updated by RLS (recursive-least-square) algorithm. From the simulation results, it is shown that a pre-processing by adaptive antenna array and a post-processing by packet combining are very effective to improve reception performance of an FH/SSMA network.
