Throughput analysis of strongly interfering slow frequency-hopping wireless networks

We derive an approximation for the throughput of strongly interfering frequency-hopping wireless networks, where packet collisions always result in lost data. A system is defined to consist of a certain number of radio networks, each with an arbitrary number of communicating units, coordinated to communicate without interference. Using the approximation, we estimate upper and lower bounds on system throughput, as well as the number of networks which gives maximum system throughput
