Abstract :
The authors determines optimum transmission ranges for a multi-hop packet radio network using frequency hopping spread spectrum with frequency shift keying. The results can be used in the study of routing schemes for such networks. Under the assumption of uniform traffic and a random network topology, the optimum transmission range is such that the number of terminals closer to the receiver than the transmitter is proportional to the processing gain. This contrasts with previous results for direct sequence where it was found that the optimum transmission range is such that the number of neighbors that are closer to the receiver than the transmitter is proportional to the square root of the processing gain
